Chloe the Chicken
Today Chloe decided that being a chicken was more fun then being a little girl. Every day we let the chickens out to roam around and today Chloe went roaming with them. The chickens love being out as the get to feast on the grass hoppers. Chloe thinks that they are so funny as the dart around chasing the bugs (it does look funny) and chases after them squealing with delight. I explained to her that they were getting the buggies as that is what they eat. About a minute and a half later I thought Chloe was bending over to smell the flowers but then she went to smell the grass. When I asked her about smelling the grass she said "Buggy, buggy." She was pretending to be a chicken!
She followed the chickens around the house and the yard bending down pretending to get the buggies. I hope she doesn't start eating them herself, though it definitely wouldn't be the first time :)
When the little flock of chickens, with the tag along, got to the fence where all the Autumn leaves are starting to collect they started scratching around as chickens do. Chloe thought this was very amusing and did what any apprentice chicken would...started scratching.
It was all fun and kept her amused for about twenty minutes (eternity for a seventeen month old) until the chickens decided that the bugs in the sheep paddock were too tempting. As hard as she tried poor Chloe had to give up being a chicken with her feathered buddies (for today anyway).

Cool photos again Steph! How do you get the chooks back in their pen? Do you have to catch each one? Also - I think it is about time you updated your profile information - it still says that Chloe is under 1 and that you are going to move to Tasmania soon :)
