12 Happy Chickens

Above is 4 of my hens taking advantage of the warm sunshine, even thought it only reached 28 degrees today. The two in front, taking a buddy bath are my oldest- Henny Penny on the left and Talker on the right.

This picture is what I see on a daily basis when I open the front door. Two legged visitors looking for a hand out and they rarely take “no” for an answer! Sir Jack is wishing he could go out and tackle the hens, as he does on occasion. Really I think in chicken language they just might be antagonizing him. When he does get out of the house, he thinks he’s “big man” until one of the hens pecks him in the forehead, usually leaving a lump and/or blood. Then he high tails it back to the front door begging to get in. Funny though, he seems to forget they get the best of him every single time…
