chicken drill bit

The Silkies have picked a spot to dig a hole, and are digging the hole with their bodies, removing the dirt in their feathers and shaking it out elsewhere. Slow and steady.

They take turns, and now they have the hole twice as deep as this, so that they are fully below ground level.

Odd little birds.

I haven’t bought them a bag of pro-mix outside of the greenhouse before because in the greenhouse, they are doing the work of distributing it for me to amend the soil I will grow in, but hey. They need a bath in the summer too, what’s one bag of mix? They enjoy it so much.
