Happy hens

I know I set out to write about my allotment, but I haven't got up there yet, and the hens are providing a lot of subject matter!
I read the other day about chickens enjoying fallen leaves, so this morning collected a few boxes full and dumped them in a heap in the chicken run. What happy hens now, I'll try to attach a video of them or at least a photo. A pile of leaves definitely appeals to all the basic foraging instincts of the chicken: in the wild they are forest dwelling birds, scratching the earth for worms and small insects.
