I know this is not world breaking news to anyone but me but I was so excited when I found 4 eggs in the garden I woke the beer fairy and almost rang my children but maybe no one else feels the same. I have never had anything to do with a chicken before so to me this was very exciting, I had scrambled eggs for lunch yesterday they were yummy, I had to share with the beer fairy.
I was trying to take a close up of kidney, she wasn't happy about this.
and just wouldn't look at the camera.
Painting my terra cotta pots red
and replanting and dividing my brom's.
Now this is interesting drumstick likes milk, I always had a milk water mixture for Kidney but now she has to get there first or the chicken get it.
Angus has been here for a couple of extra days this week as his people are moving into their new home.
The chicken has been shut in to the top garden, Angus is very interested in her but she doesn't like him at all so best to keep them separated.
Angus and the beer fairy discussing world politics, I really should paint the shed, there were plants there and I painted around them.
I did clean my sun dial.
He is a pretty boy.
Here we have Bow Peep, him and the Beer Fairy are poping down to his farm to look for the missing sheep 3 have turned but three are still missing.
I repainted some of the little men in the garden a couple more to go.
Not sure but think he is having a cap nap.
Now they are discussing world events or what they are having for breakfast.
well that's settled it's sausages and eggs.
You should feel very proud of your eggs...very nearly self sufficient!
ReplyDeleteI guess the chicken is enjoying the calcium from the milk...then she'll turn it into eggshell. One good turn deserves another!

She is paying rent more than the cats and pidge do.
DeleteMerle......
Love the rent that Drumstick is paying. And your garden.
ReplyDeleteIt's pretty exciting.
DeleteMerle.......
Jane got it, I'm sure; Drumstick is looking for calcium. My only laying bird experience is a finch, long ago, and she needed calcium to keep egg shells forming.
ReplyDeleteThat makes sense.
DeleteMerle..........
yeh for the eggs!! I can hear the excitement in your words!!! Gee I love your graden, its just perfect, and the red pots just pop!
ReplyDeleteI'm happy with the red pots, thinking of some white ones too.
DeleteMerle.......
Drumsticks is to be congratulated! Wow, that's nice and brown eggs at that!
ReplyDeleteAngus looks great and here is a big applaud to keeping them apart. It's a Corgi Merle!
Herding is in his blood, on the other end you want to keep Drumsticks to give you more eggs don't you?
Hugs to Angus!
Best to you Friend!
Got Angus for 4 days and Drumstick can now get out of his yard now so they have met not bad, Angus is a very gentle dog most of the time.
DeleteMerle......
Way to go Drumstick!
ReplyDeleteShe is a good girl.
DeleteMerle........
what a charming space!! love the gnomes... and all of the little animals making their way through.
ReplyDeleteThe garden has a good population.
DeleteMerle......
Having fresh eggs laid for you is brilliant. What's all the muck on them though? Of course, I forgot they come out like that.
ReplyDeleteThey are easy to clean and do taste good.
DeleteMerle.......
Oh lucky you,I would love a chicken for fresh eggs. Hubby says no :(
ReplyDeleteLove your interesting garden,and those pots look so nice red with the geraniums.
This one just moved in.
DeleteMerle.........
Four eggs! she's obviously happy living with you. The calcium in the milk will be good for her. Can you get her some shell grit from the supermarket or pet shop? I've heard it's good for the shells on the eggs. I love your sundial and the little toadstools everywhere. I'm thinking I may paint a few of my pots red, I have some black plastic ones that I got for free and I'd like them red. And I'd better get busy potting up my tomato seedlings before it's too late.
ReplyDeleteI will try to get shell grit thats a good idea.
DeleteMerle....
Congrats on finding the eggs! Nice having fresh eggs for breakfast. I hope they have found the missing sheep by now. Angus is a cutie, I did not know chickens would drink milk. Poor Kidney. Have a happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteWill let you know about the sheep.
DeleteMerle..........
Eggs that is awesome, and you wanted her to go away, free eggs yeah.
ReplyDeleteFrom your Son ;-)
Glad you told me who you are usually ignore or delete anonymous.
DeleteMerle......
And by the way how were the eggs
ReplyDeletePretty good.
DeleteMerle...
Thank you for visiting my Blog. God bless you and yours.
ReplyDeleteHello.
DeleteMerle......
I am just loving your pops of red now with your pots painted!!! And I would be through the roof if I had my own chickens and they laid eggs!!! There is nothing better than fresh eggs!!!!
ReplyDeleteThey are good and it's exciting to find them.
ReplyDeleteMerle................
What a gorgeous cat..so beautiful..your dog is such a sweet soul too..love that picture! You made me giggle, the commentary on their conversation! Beautiful garden my friend..looks so peaceful to sit there! Love the red pots you are painting too.....vibrant and enchanting!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your magical realm!
Hugs

We had 3 days of rain now so the garden is perking up but boy am I sick of the wet stuff.
DeleteMerle...............
I'm surprised that a chicken would eat milk. I love your corgi. He looks like a mellow fellow.
ReplyDeleteI was surprised about the chicken drinking milk too.
ReplyDeleteMerle,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
I would be crazy excited if I had chickens and I found eggs. We just finished off the 1 dozen brown, green and blue (a variety, not variegated) eggs from a friend who has chickens. There is something so special about homegrown/raised food.
ReplyDeleteThe vegs in the driveway have done well but all my carrots in the back garden were dug out by Drumstick the chicken funny thing she doesn't seem to like carrots but does like the green tops.
DeleteMerle..........
Hi Merle, I hope the Beer Fairy and Bo Peep can solve the world's problems soon - somebody needs to. Hope those 3 sheep turn up soon. Fresh eggs are the best - love your red pots and that little red polka dot mushroom is charming. I had a cat just like Kidney - they could be identical, his name was Ninky because he was so stinky that your nose wrinkled up and when you tried to say Stinky, it came out Ninky. Anyway, always love to come for a visit - lots of fun. xo Karen
ReplyDeleteThe worlds problems are still the same, worse luck no sheep found yet, no more eggs yet but it rained for the last four days and Angus was here for a few days or I haven't found them.
ReplyDeleteLove that name for your cat always good if there is a story behind it.

ReplyDeleteooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhh Nothing - I said nothing - beats fresh laid eggs!!! The sundial is fabulous and Angus is smiling so hard in his solo photo he might crack the lens - what a stunner. Lovely depiction of a day in the life...
YAM xx
Fresh eggs are good.
