Tall Green Grass

The 2 Happy Hens enjoy the lovely green grass that
has grown rapidly due to recent summer rainfall.
Nestle stretches forward to reach the grass seeds.
Chickadee watches on.
The 2 Happy Hens cross paths as they feed on grass.
Nestle's legs are hidden in the tall green grass.
Chickadee stands on one leg as she takes a break from grazing.
Something catches the attention of the 2 Happy Hens
as they both look in the same direction.
Chickadee is so big compared to little Nestle.

Backyard Grazing

The 2 Happy Hens graze in the backyard.
Chickadee is still growing new feathers after her big moult last month.
 Nestle crouches down to feed on grass whilst Chickadee
feeds along the fence line in the background.
The 2 Happy Hens take a break from grazing
to see what I'm doing with the camera.
Nestle is an old girl now aged 5 years and 8 months.
We've never had pet hen live so long before.
Nestle looks good for her age.
The 2 Happy Hens dig a big hole in the backyard.
You can see Chickadee's big footprints in the dirt. 
Nestle and Chickadee turn their separate
ways after they finish scratching the dirt.
