Just one of the girls.

I was far too happy yesterday when my hens actually came when I called them. Several days this week I have let them out in the yard with me while I've been gardening. They are much more comfortable around me now and will stay with me, follow me, and come to me when I call. I'm pretty sure Ginger actually thinks I'm pecking for things in the dirt the same as they are when I'm removing rocks from the garden because she's started to come over and try to get the rocks as I pick them up just like she competes with Pepper for goodies in the dirt. I love the camaraderie of having them out in the yard. We chat, we laugh... I'm just one of the girls!
