Both of you bite your tongues! I'm confident you're both aware of the scenario whereby livestock move over into the "pet" category?
And to be honest, I had forgotten how much simple pleasure could be had just from watching chickens. We had them around home of course, but that was a long time ago. One scored a cicada earlier and it was a free-for-all for a time. Very entertaining.
Naturally they are roosters, driven off by the dominant rooster next door. But maybe a hen will defect one of these days.
Yes ,we raise Delaware chickens here and they are comical to say the least. Wait until you see one catch a mouse and free for all on who gets to eat it whole LOL Some times when I want a break I just pull up to the chicken compound and sit back and relax . Watch the show. Keep on throwing the corn and don't worry about age or sex as the crock pot makes em all tender.
