Honey Bunny on a Cow Pie

Page 11 of my 18 x 24 inch fabric book titled, Farmer Kim and The Feathery Ladies is complete!

"There golden yolks are the outcome of their freedom to roam wherever they choose, enjoying compost, greenery and scratching through cow pies for bugs and larvae."

Honey's foot in a cow pie.

They enjoy eating, greenery, bread, ants, bananas...

...worms, strawberries, noodles, watermelon...

...apples, spiders, broccoli, onions, egg shells...and just about anything!  

*They also like (love) dead mice but I thought that would be too graphic...

Tomatoes and Tomato Scraps For Chickens

I am taking full advantage of the tomatoes turning ripe and red.  Pizza with tomatoes, green pepper, chard, mushrooms and homemade sauce with fresh herbs.

Tomato sauce with Zucchini.

After I make a meal I take the kitchen scraps to the compost/chickens.  They run right to me because they know I have what they love.

Glorious moldy goop!

And they are so happy to find tomato scraps in there now!

Relish the Chicken Sewn and Chickens Enjoying Scraps

I finished sewing the second chicken, Relish.  My original plans were to sew three chickens, but I think five might look better.  I want to show the many different chickens.

Relish up close.

When we have scraps from the kitchen they go in a bucket.  When it gets full, I take it out to the compost.  The chickens have learned that when they see me, I usually have food.  They run to me and follow me to the compost!

My oatmeal with raisins had gone bad so they gobbled it up.  They really like mushy things like tofu and noodles.  They also LOVE eggshells.

Relish found some creamy goop to enjoy and she has no interest in sharing.

Honey likes to stick her head in the bucket to get every last bit out.

I am going to miss these chickens so much!
