Wasnt it a lovely summers evening on Friday. I'd only just looked at my 5 girls dustbathing in the garden, as i went to sit down with my pizza and glass of wine, to watch the 2nd half of Corrie...and then it started......bok bok bokking, all of the chickens going crazy, and so blummin loud!...i dashed outside wondering what on earth was upsetting them, (and panicking that we were having a visit from a fox!!)....it was a hot air balloon that had caused this great chaos...the balloon passed in a matter of minutes and my pizza went cold as i spent the next hour trying to quieten the girls down....in and amongst mouthfuls of mealworms they were still bellowing, and didnt stop until 9.30pm....now waiting for a complaint from the neighbours. Thought I'd share this story on here, as i can tell by the yawns and blank looks from work colleagues that its just another one of my boring chicken stories.
Hope everyone enjoyed the lovely weekend sunshine.....my girls spent yesterday thoroughly enjoying dipping their heads into an old cat litter tray I'd filled with water and floated a few garden peas in.
