Borrowing Chickens

I haven't posted because quite frankly the garden hasn't been doing well, and I don't have time. I've been adding compost from purchased bags, growing fall cover crops and tilling them in, but I can't seem to stop the decline. I think it's due to soil depletion and lack of crop rotation. Either things become diseased, are decimated by bugs, or both.

This year I borrowed 2 chickens from my friends to help with fall cleanup. I wasn't sure if I was ready for ownership so what better way to find out, right? I'm finding they're cute, sweet, love mixing my home made compost into the raised beds for me, and FRESH EGGS!! We may have to get a couple.

Eggs!

Begging for treats!
