[New shoot]

Oi shouts New Shoot Are you vile chickens digging up my herb bed!  I've been boasting on the forum how you 3 can be out all day and not do much damage you know



Us?  No.... Yes.... well Maybe    We saw the magic stick on the wall ....

What my grapevine you mean

yeah, well whatever, but a couple of months ago the magic stick had magic purple berries on it .......

You mean grapes Chickens  

Yeah well they were the food of the gods and we found them and then found we could jump up and perch on the low bits to get even more ......... and and and we thought maybe just maybe there might be a few we had missed among the other plants ........

Your antics were noted and you got shouted at every time remember  

OK girls, we're rumbled.  Eva! Naomi! (they are Alphie's supermodels after all) scatter

We gave up trying to grow strawberries (in a tall raised planter). They can jump high when they want to!

Are you ready for this? Alphie's supermodels are Black Silver Birchen bantam orpingtons from a local breeder - phew what a mouthful    They know they are a bit posh and spend most of their time with their beaks in the air, hence their nickname 

Alphie used to live with the big gang and his brother until they decided they hated each other.  The supermodels were bought to keep him company in his new coop.
