Rose petals for the girls

The chicken run has it’s own rose and the girls love rose petals. This morning when I went into the run first thing I decided to dead head the rose and sprinkle the petals for the girls.

I happened to have left my camera in the chicken store cabinet so took a few photos. They are not great as the rose is behind the gate that is used when separating the run into sections but you can see that the girls love rose petals.

This is a simple treat growing in their space that they can enjoy until the rose is finished flowering.

    Nice to see the girls enjoying their rose petals,Emerald looks a lot happier now. Has she got over her maulting?

    • The feathers have stopped dropping out now so I think that if it’s not over completely it’s definitely slowed right down. She has a little bare strip on her head with new pins, just behind her comb. Her tail is short but it’s getting there. She is looking a lot better. I think she is definitely over the worst.
