David Beckham is checking on his chickens!
The former soccer star, 51, shared an Instagram carousel of photos and several Instagram stories of his chicken coop and the gardens at his Cotswolds home in the English countryside.
"Checkin My Chickens 🐓 🌹," Beckham captioned the carousel, which was accompanied by the Justin Bieber tune, "Speed Demon."
The first slide in the carousel showed the sports star crawling into the coop and finding a handful of eggs, while the next clip offered a tour of his flower-filled garden and plant-filled greenhouse.

Over on his Instagram Stories, Beckham introduced his 86.8 million followers to some new "family members" in the Beckham household, a group of sweet black moorhens. He also showed off yet more eggs in his chicken coop in another frame.
Beckham also showed off a collection of beautiful, soft white roses, which were, in fact, named after him. The blooms, bred by David Austin Roses, were introduced at the Chelsea Flower Show back in May in honor of his 50th birthday.

The King and Beckham first spoke about the flower during their meetup at Highgrove House a few weeks before, during which they discussed plans for The King's Foundation Curious Garden. The King's Foundation shared a video of the meeting Instagram, showing the monarch asking about the Sir David Beckham rose.
When the soccer star explained that his 14-year-old daughter Harper had organized the flower to mark his milestone birthday, Charles said the gesture was "fantastic."

At the Flower Show, the King asked if the flower "smelled," and Beckham quipped, "It smells amazing. Not as good as yours," in reference to the King's own rose, which made everyone laugh.
King Charles follows his late mother Queen Elizabeth as patron of The Royal Horticultural Society and has bonded with Beckham, a King's Foundation Ambassador, over their shared passion for gardening and the outdoors.
