New chickens - again

These were a gift from a friend who needed to rehome them. Six lovely Rhode Island Reds. They are so cute. They roam the yard like a gang. I'm praying that these birds can live out long, happy lives. None of my neighbors have pit bulls anymore, and these girls won't get to completely roam the yard.

 And here is a chicken's favorite snack. :-) My husband was in the hammock of the tree house and watched this cicada emerge from his exoskeleton. I thought the blue-green colors were pretty. The hens found the old, crusty skin and fought over it.
