A little girl from down the street asked if we would babysit her little chicken Amber. Her family were going to Vernon for the weekend so we looked after Amber!!
She was such a cute little chicken ;) When we took her out of her cage she would follow us around the yard as if we were her mom.
I think she was camera shy!! Anyway when we were pulling weeds in the garden she happily gulped down all the bugs and peep peep peeped the whole time:)
Our chickens were too crabby to let Amber stay with them. Chickens have to have a pecking order and Amber was a little too young for that!! The squirells wouldn't take any of that as you can see. The chickens don't eat the barley in their feed so this suites the squirells just fine ;)
Barry has been helping me with the garden since I'm not able to do much. I was so glad he had some helpers too!! :)
Well, maybe the ladies were more of a bother getting in the way than a help!
We are looking after Amber, the little girl down the streets chicken. I guess you can't see much of her but she has grown. I don't know what we'll do with her when we go off to convention next week. We weren't home when they dropped her off so we didn't get to tell the parents we actually were not going to be home!! What a surprise when we got home and found the chicken. We can't keep her with our chickens because they peck on her. Poor little chicky.
