One of the advantages of keeping chicken is their nutrient supply in the form of poop. Twice a week I gather their extrudences (new word?) in a 5 gallon bucket and head to the apple orchard to gift a lucky tree. This morning, as I was about to upturn the bucket at the base of my favorite apple tree (it provides the best apples), I noticed a little fellow (sex assumed) hard at work on a fallen delicacy. There were a couple of wasps also participating at the meal but they flew off as I neared the camera.
