Someone Needs A Raincoat

December 12, 2008 @ 20:56 By Gavin Webber 4 Comments

Picture this.  Another 12mm of rain so far today and a lovely wet garden.  However, some of my family are too silly to take shelter indoors.  The things you see on a rainy day!  I didn’t know that Edwina had white feathers underneath the brown.

And here is another shot of all my fine feathered girls having their afternoon feed of rainbow chard.

Kim and I put another tarp over their run, so that hopefully tomorrow, it will keep them a bit dryer.  I wonder if they will have the good sense to stay under cover?  Kim reckons that she should make them little raincoats.  I think she is funny.

    Hi Gavin,
    I’m glad you’re finally getting some rain.
    I reckon Kim should patent the raincoats for chickens 😉
    Have a great weekend.

    Poor girls. You know what the anwser is Gavin. You must get out there with a golfing umbrella so they can wander where they like and still keep dry.
