Do they lay rusty-brown eggs? ;-)

My chickens have been helping me dig up more potatoes today. One
stands right on top of the ground I'm lifting with the fork! On more
than one occasion I've lifted the fork and the grumbling chicken has
been left standing on the prongs! They get in the way terrible but
they are amusing to have around and good company. I pick up the
unearthed potatoes while they pick up any insects and worms. That
reminds me I haven't searched for any eggs today yet, they keep
finding new places to lay them; they've become very good at hiding
them...

As long as they don't find any interesting caterpillars......!

Not seen any more of those huge caterpillars. Plenty of small green and
black ones this year on just about everything, found some even climbing
the front door! The chickens ignore them, probably don't taste nice.
