Day 15: weak
Not sure who’s weak here, the chicken or the worm.
Sidenote: one of the funniest chicken moments ever, the first time I gave a hen a strand of spaghetti. She must’ve thought it was the awesomest worm EVAR. She held her beak in the air and did a victory lap all around the garden, the other chickens running after her grabbing at it.
Later that Summer, she fluttered up and landed with a ripe splat in the middle of my plate of spaghetti, dumping my lunch in the grass. Loved her pasta, did Lucia.

Maybe she was trying to tell you that you should have made chicken cacciatore instead of plain spaghetti???

Another nice drawing – the stance of Lucia seems just right, as she levers that earthworm out of the soil.
Fun Fact: American Earthworms are actually as European as Elizabeth Warren – they didn’t exist in North America until John Rolf famously introduced them at Jamestown. Rolfe is also famous for being the husband of Pocohauntas; history doesn’t record how she felt about worms, sadly.

I think the chick is going to win!
So what garden tidbits do chickens like best? Worms? Beetles? Grasshoppers? Do you have grasshoppers in the U.K.?

Durned beat me to it. I’ve never seen it in my flock, but they are widely reported to eat mice — and YouTube can back that up.
I’ve never seen mine eat slugs or snails, like they’re supposed to.
Ants. They seem to like ants.
