Chicken gone Wild!


I felt like I was on a live shooting of Animal Planet! My chicken captured a flying grasshopper and banged it on the ground until it stopped moving and then swallowed it whole. It was amazing! I was able to capture a picture of the chicken just moments before it ate the grasshopper.

Ed's taco shack is getting serious upgrades! It has tile flooring and the grill is no longer stacked bricks, it's covered with cement and has side doors. Our neighbor Jose is welding it a custom grill top with a rotisserie turner.
The artichoke plants were also attacked by the chickens. The chickens stomped out the leaves and chopped on them. The ground is very moist with lots of bugs, all the right ingredients to attack chickes.

As much as we loved the sweat peas, it's time to let them bow out gracefully. The height of these beauties toppled over on top of my strawberries and onions. The strawberries began to wilt. So I pulled out as many seed pods as possible, then we pulled out the flowers. See you next year sweat peas!
