The Diva Updates

The Divas are growing up and are now a year old and I am in danger of Empty Nest Syndrome. Pretty soon they may take wing, fly the coop and not need me as much anymore, well… except for food and water. Little by little, their curiosity and love is making them into the grown up Divas they will become. I am very proud of their successes and triumphs.


They’re getting out more – exploring the backyard with great fervor. They can no longer wander through the garden and traipse through the green beans due to my Darling Husband putting up a 6 foot tall fence. It’s not that I don’t appreciate the scratching, the weeds being eaten or the bugs being gone – but in their enthusiasm, they eat the whole garden…. It’s just not productive, since I want to also be able to eat the veggies and not just give the girls a 24/7 buffet of wholesome yummies.

After all the stress about their worm fear, I was afraid that they would never overcome this problem and actually eat a “Crawly or a Wiggly” beast. I have a fear of clowns and spiders and I am “Big” enough to admit my fears and I know how to progress from there. But how does one teach a chicken to eat worms? I for one, am not going to start munching to help them with this... does anyone want to help?
