Out the kitchen door
There’s something surreal about watching a small group of chickens. I think it’s an evolutionary thing – they’re constantly swivelling their heads to look around. But there’s a rhythm to it: one looks up while one looks left, then this one looks left while the third one looks down. It’s like a poultry Bob Fosse dance routine.
Downright hypnotic.
That, incidentally, is out the kitchen door. Sooner or later, they all discover the kitchen.

“Sooner or later, they all discover the kitchen?”
That phrase has some rather dark overtones for a chicken, don’t you think? 🙂

They’s kinda rough on the patio furniture though. I’d keep the screen door latched.

Chickens fascinate me, I literally could watch them for hours.

That’s an old busted chair, Deborah. And there are no screen doors in England. Weird, huh?
Yeah, I watch chickens for hours on end. Balm to the soul.

I think you made a short video for us years ago, of your chickens burbling; we all liked it 🙂
No flies, wasps, or skeeters in your little corner of the world? I love screen doors, especially those from the 1950s, with modern aluminum artwork—cattails were a popular theme, and fern fronds.

The neighbours keep chickens. We had a thunder storm a couple of weeks ago that took out a tree on our fence line, thus breeching said fence. They love having new territory to explore and I’ve enjoyed having them. Used to keep chickens when I was a kid because we had to. It’s nice to have them around Plus they eat bugs. I have a huge yard and they have a bigger space. Win Win Baby!
