Silly chickens!


FFF Photo a Day - Day 29

Our laying hens spend the cold months in the barn. We feed them using these feeders that we suspend from the ceiling. This prevents them from tipping them over and spilling all the feed. 

We usually put a lid on the top of the feeder to prevent them from flying in... as you can see, if you don't they tend to use it as a place to lay! 

They also don't know how to take turns so you will often find two or three trying to cram in to the same nesting spot! Silly chickens!
