Former footballer David Beckham faced another type of bird Tuesday as he walked the grounds of his sprawling family home in the English Cotswolds.
The London-born former Manchester United and England midfielder has fully embraced country life by installing a chicken and turkey coop at the £6million property he shares with his wife Victoria.
And the birds came out in force when Beckham, 49, shared a video from his rural home with his Instagram followers.
The retired footballer was followed by a small flock of chickens and game birds as he showed off some of the carefully laid out land surrounding the farm.
The former soccer player received the birds as a Christmas gift from his wife and has since installed a pen for the new animals on his extensive farm.
Former footballer David Beckham faced another type of bird Tuesday as he walked the grounds of his sprawling family home in the English Cotswolds.
The London-born former Manchester United and England midfielder has fully embraced country life by installing a chicken and turkey coop on a property worth £6 million.
Beckham’s flock of pet birds were seen following him out of his chicken coop on Tuesday morning.
Beckham collected his first chicken egg in March after traveling to his home in the Cotswolds to check on his flock.
She later took to Instagram to share the moment she found her first egg after spending hours researching the best way to cheer up her chickens.
“I’ve come to check for eggs because I haven’t actually been here to see and witness the first egg, so I’m back and let’s take a look,” he told his followers.
‘They were placed on top, I did a bit of research and changed a few things, guess what? “This is the first time they have set up there, which is very exciting.”
Captioning the post, he wrote: “I mean the thrill of finding eggs and learning what they need is pretty amazing @victoriabeckham @brooklynpeltzbeckham @romeobeckham @cruzbeckham #HarperSeven we had breakfast we might have to share a bit and I’m not sure why I’m whispering either .’
Beckham’s followers praised his enthusiasm, writing: ‘Your enthusiasm excites me’ and ‘I love this, waiting to see if there’s an egg when you’re an adult is like a child waking up on Christmas morning.’
‘You are so cute with your fresh eggs’ and ‘Eggcellent news’.
Victoria invited her husband to the chicken coop after he took a keen interest in beekeeping on the rural property.
The retired footballer was followed by birds as he showed off some of the carefully laid out land surrounding the estate.
The former soccer player received the birds as a Christmas gift from his wife and has since installed a pen for the new animals on his extensive farm.
The fashion designer and former Spice Girl showed off Beckham’s chicken breeding with a rooster on Instagram.
Sharing the video with his Instagram followers, he wrote: ‘What did you get for Christmas David?
‘Some chickens and a rooster,’ replied the retired footballer while his wife continued: ‘Beckham’s chickens.’
She added: “There’s a really huge cock in there too” before branding her new feathered friends “camera shy.”
Beckham improved his skills as a chicken farmer after his wife Victoria gave him her own flock.
The chicken was seen following him around the pen as he fed them in a video shared with his followers in March.
