I love opening the back door each morning to be greeted by this family. They fly in morning and night for some oats, seeds and occasionally some fresh greens. The chickens mingle with them without any issues.
Many of the older ones have become familiar with me over the years.
Some are quite brazen and will come up under the patio letting me know that they have arrived and are hungry. They also like to paddle and preen in the many water bowls throughout the garden. Or sometimes they sleep the day away in a shady nook.
Offering them a sanctuary during the hotter months when the lake is overflowing with people is a highlight of my year...
