Dispatches from our animal kingdom:

Our chickens have probably grown about 50%. They are huge compared to when we first brought them home! They still aren't laying yet. Not exactly sure how old they are but their combs haven't turned red yet (they are in the beginning stages)

We started off feeding them pellets, which the dog used to try and steal. Now we feed them mash, which she doesn't really seem interested in.

The dog tends to follow them around curiously but I'm pretty sure we've drilled into her that they are friends, not foes.

But she will try to chase birds. In fact, she actually managed to catch one the other, unbelieveably. It eventually died 🙁

She is me in dog form - seriously food motivated, and prefers drinking warm water to cold #asianforlife.
