We have a plant that we know as “mind your own business” growing alongside our front path. Every year at this time we cut it back as it encroaches on the path. My husband cuts it with kitchen scissors as it’s like a mat of root.
We then give it to the girls to peck and scratch at. It had the added bonus of three worms of which Topaz got two and Sparkle the other one.
The girls take a look
They take a closer look
They get stuck in
An hour later I went back to check on them and they had broken it up and spread it around.
Spread around
These girls are so easily pleased and this will keep them going for a few days yet.

Oh, that’s just good all day fun right there.
It’s really broken up and spread around now but the girls are still enjoying pecking at it. I love how long they can get fun out of plants.
As soon as turfs come back into the garden centre I am going to get them one.
Can you get me some please
As soon as I see them back in I will get us both one. They should be in soon, in fact I might go and have a look this afternoon.
