It’s not only the fun loving Giant Panda bears that love bamboo, oh no Posh and Pecks have a fondness for it too. They discovered the dwarf bamboo in the corner of the garden over a week ago.

Out of the four varieties in the garden, they decided to pick on the harmless dwarf bamboo plant possibly due to the smaller leaves

Pecks is the clever one, she has discovered if she gets onto the flower pot she can pick the leaves from the top.

I would hate to think what the bamboo plant would look like if we allowed our girls to free range all day, at the moment we only allow our chickens to free range a few hours a day supervised and already there is almost no leaves left, not that we are that bothered.

If anyone has a dwarf bamboo in their garden be warned it will not survive with two or more terrors.
