Chickens

Chatting with a work colleague recently, we were talking about Molbaks Garden Center in Woodinville which we have visited many times.  She asked if we went to Flower World too and I had to admit I had never heard of it.  It is in Maltby, about ten minutes from home but I had no idea it existed.  It not only is a nursery but it also has a farm with a farm shop.  A visit seemed in order.

There are a lot of chickens at Maltby Farm.  There are a bunch of them roaming the park areas around the garden center.  Within the farm ground, they have a large enclosure full of chickens and the eggs are sold in the shop.  Chickens are interesting creatures since they come in such a wide variety of sizes and plumages.  When the light is right, it really pulls the colors out of the feathers.  They are also amusing to watch with the little battles that break out with surprising regularity.
