When they help in the garden

The chickens love when we are outside digging around, they always come over for an inspection. Chickens are fantastic pest controllers and with such incredible eyesight they can spot the most miniscule bug and happily gobble it up. If we happen to come across a snail we think it must be like chocolate as the race is on to steal it from each other. Gardening organically is so important for us and the environment so what better way to help the planet then by keeping backyard poultry, they are definitely pets with benefits  They give us fantastic manure which the veggies love, eat all our bugs and produce the yummiest eggs and they are just so amusing to watch!
