Home-grown watermelon and chickens

One of our first watermelon. After seeing that the watermelons were the only thing that truly produced this summer (not tomatoes, beans, peas, cucumbers, or squash), next year will be ALL melons. It must be the extreme heat, but while everything else was a bust, the watermelons were wonderful!
Check out the juicy chin and packed cheeks!
Here are the chickens fully grown and eating inchworms that are our yearly (one month) pests. They hatch and drop like rain for a couple days, covering the grass and providing fantastic food for the birds.
This is probably the prettiest bird.
And this one is a lovely shade of red.
