Yesterday afternoon it was lovely and sunny for a change and we had finished work by lunch time. We decided to make the most of it and my husband set to work tiding the garden while I did the same in the chicken run.<\/p>\n

I dug the run over as it’s been so wet lately. The girls love following my feet and the fork in case I turn up any worms. I have to be so careful as they have no fear of my feet or the fork.<\/p>\n

I then pruned the big hypericum bush. It had grown up to the roof panels as well as outwards and through the weld mesh to outside and also had a lot of dead wood at the back.<\/p>\n

I filled two bin sacks with it and now there is much more light getting in to run.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile my husband had trimmed the plant that runs along our front path and put it in the run as a treat for the girls. Up until this point they had been gathered round me while I pruned but suddenly decided this was more interesting.<\/p>\n

It was late afternoon when I took these photos but it will be much brighter earlier in the day.<\/p>\n

I finished off by sweeping the chicken patio and washing the food and water dishes. Every thing is as good as it gets in the chicken run and I think the girls enjoyed the afternoon activities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
