Chickens can be hard workers!

Our chickens, who love to work hard in my garden (even when I don't want them to!) enjoy all sorts of bugs, worms and grubs.  They are great tillers of the soil and don't mind getting their feet dirty.

Our chickens, Belle, Chilli and Princess are probably the most successful gardeners as far as soil preparation goes.  They are also great vege harvesters - you need to keep them out of the garden until you can harvest the veges first.

The up side is they are easy going, lay lots of eggs and enjoy human company.  They have the run of the back yard as well.
