No shame.... by happypat

No shame....

Next doors hens come round every day & eat under our bird table & then even though there is water out they come & disgrace themselves by drinking out of the drain by the back door.

Three good things:
1. A gorgeous Bank Holiday Saturday, we sat in the garden reading.
2. Cathy came & did my feet before I go away.
3. Tractor Pulling on the Show field in the village
A big weekend for Great Eccleston with hundreds descending to watch the massive tractors doing their stuff.
Guy Martin is here doing some filming & he’s going to have a go on one of the big tractors.
Harry is going tomorrow.
Have a good weekend. Maybe the drain water is flavored. Have you tried it? LOL

I love that the chickens eat the bird feed on the ground! It gets all over everything here. Maybe the drain water tastes fresher to them.

@joansmor @louannwarren I have no idea I only know I put bleach down there the other day...hope there no repercussions!
August 24th, 2019  
But did they leave any eggs? Nice shot.

Good they clean up under the bird feeder .. they clearly are not fussy by drinking the drain water .. Good to hear you got good weather for the long weekend l.. Just had to google Guy Martin .. celebrity in your mitts..

@sarah19 @gijsje @louannwarren @beryl Pretty much same as last year Sallie...we can hear the commentary from our house...hopefully next year we will be even nearer...that will be strange! Yes Guy Martin is an attraction but no one seemed to know what day he was appearing....very healthy hens Beryl....hope it cools down fir you tomorrow!

Ask Guy Martin if he remembers me- at 'The Burt Munro Challenge in Invercargill a year or so ago! Got a photo with him.
Lovely farm-like photo of the hens!

Obviously the seed and water at your house is nice than it is at their home.
August 25th, 2019  
Lol! Love your commentary
August 25th, 2019  
So nice that they clean up the dropped seed. But the big question is, do you have to clean up after them?
A great shot of them.

Lovely, friendly scene ...

@maggiemae
I remember you saying Guy Martin was at Invercargill Maggie & I’m sure he will remember you at your own ‘do’ but I’m not going today to tractor pulling & I doubt I would get near him even if I was, think he might be a bit surrounded plus he will be in the bit that out of bounds to general public... safety reasons for one . There will be thousands there today! Must try & find out when hi bit will be on TV. Our neighbours run the event & I usually have B&B but had to say no this year, funny if I missed him as a guest.....well not funny I would be cross. We were under offer at the time so thought we wouldn’t be here!

So much going on it seems from your story. Such a cute capture of these hens. They seem to be about to knock on our door.
August 25th, 2019  
a lovely story to your photo Pat
August 26th, 2019  
Nice of them to clean up after the birds drop their feed. Maybe they will leave you and egg or two sometimes. Neat capture.
August 26th, 2019  
Tee hee, minds of their own, eh! Love it 🤣❤️

I do love a good chicken picture! They look very busy and their plumage is wonderful.
