This is my blog about the day to day lives of my little flock of pet chickens. They're a happy little flock, although they're totally crackers! If you want a laugh, they'll gladly give you one.

Fearless or foolish?

We have a family of robins who visit the garden frequently - I've mentioned Pom-Pom's encounters with one of them in previous posts.

As well as mum (or it could be dad), there are two youngsters, one from the first hatching whose red breast has developed beautifully.   The other one is much younger and still has a spotty chest, but is just too sweet for words.  Unfortunately these two adolescents don't seem to have a whole brain between them!




The older one accidentally tried to join me in the summerhouse a few days ago.   Today the same one tried to fly through my son's head, swerving just in time to miss him.  

Having seen his brother's antics, the younger one thought it would be clever to fly into the garden and land on Titian's back!   Fortunately he realised the error of his ways when Titian glared at him and he quickly flew off to the safety of the fence.

I wait with bated breath for the next performance by these two.
