| Chickens under coop bush (Swan not pictured/hiding) |
or here:
 |
| Apple tree bush suffers hen deficiency due to Winter-itis |
or maybe here:
 |
| Orange tree, cherry tree, several smaller saplings, crabgrass |
They refused to believe that daylight could be wasted. I told them that they were not going to take a field trip to the oven. They reluctantly tiptoed out of their hidey-hole. (Actually, since chickens naturally walk on their toes, they're technically always tiptoeing around.)
 |
| Qwerty (front), Coco (right), Snowflake (left), Swan (back) |
They scratched. Well, they scratched whenever I wasn't taking pictures of them. Then, when I was, they played dumb:
 |
| Coco (front), Snowflake (left), Swan (right) |
Coco has a bald spot on her neck (just below her beak) due to molting.
They ate.
 |
| Snowflake (front) and Swan (back) |
 |
| Swan (right) drinking water and Coco (left) |
They sorted out the pecking order for the umpteenth time.
 |
| Impending doom (AKA Snowflake) looms over Qwerty |
[Jaws music]
Danger alert! The chickens turned to stone as if staring at Medusa. Furtive glances were cast by all. (Please note that "all" excludes me...)
 |
| "We're not here. You don't see us." |
Stealth hen mode activated. Motto: If I don't see you, you don't see me.
A brief poke around, and they returned to the warmth and safety of the bush, not caring that due to the drenching rains, the dirt is damp and cold.
 |
| Swan emerging from bush |
 |
| Swan retreats upon sight of camera |
Camera-shy, much?
Qwerty didn't flee the gaze of the camera, so she gets some more pictures:
 |
| "Hi. Do I know you? Oh yeah, I do." |
 |
| Qwerty being cute |
 |
| Symmetry in nature |
Some chickens are born symmetrical... and some grow into it.
T-hen-ksgiving Part 2 coming soon! (today or tomorrow)
Wishing you all a happy Thanksgiving!
