Every day, the chickens get their ration of scratch feed served up on the lawn near the stable.
And every day, they get visitors. Opportunistic blue jays. Adorably larcenous chipmunks. Sometimes the wild turkeys drop by (and all the chickens run for cover)
Our orphaned deer arrives every day. We get quite the "peaceable kingdom" happening, with cats, dogs, deer and chickens all hanging out together.
Yesterday, the mallards returned. We think it's the same pair, year after year. They arrive, spend some time hanging out in the lake, then come waddling up the lawn to the stable to see what's for lunch. They'll drop by the office, as well, to greet Carol, and see if she has anything tasty on offer. We think the drake looks very special in his very best feathers.
