Finally the weather forecast is saying the rain is at an end and we are heading for a week of sunshine. Hurrah! It is so good to see the sun and it’s making everyone smile again. It has also bought colour to the garden.

A chicken kiss in the sunshine
Bluebell was sitting in the patch of sun in the corner of the run but as I approached with my camera she stood up and Dotty appeared to give her a kiss. It was funny because I had just seen a very similar photo on a blog “The Chicken Mamma” and the author likened it to chicken kisses.
In reality a chicken will clean a speck from another chickens face or beak and the other chicken will freeze so that she doesn’t risk accidentally getting a peck in the eye. Chickens are very accurate with their pecks and can be surprisingly gentle. I have seen this many times but it does look awfully like a kiss.
