Why did the chickens cross the road? ….

To get to the birdfeeder under my kitchen window…
where apparently the birdseed is greener.
Our neighbors have some pretty chickens
and a few guinea hens that occasionally chase our cars down the road.
He looks angry, doesn’t he?

They are actually excellent bug hunters and tick eaters.
 

They weren’t thrilled about my camera,
so back to the other side they went.


..and the guineas said… Not before us!
They’re bossy little beasts.

  1. They are hilarious!!! I can see that they were very affronted by you and your camera! I've never had guinea hens but we're thinking about it…

  2. This reminds me of the smart alecky quote, "I dream of a world where chickens can cross the road without having their motives questioned" … or something like that.

    Our girls went to a preschool on a horse farm. That farm was my first exposure to guineas. A flock of guineas reminds me of a school of fish, the way they move quickly and in unison.

    I see your neighbors have bamboo.

  3. Chickens are soooo funny! That's a wicked looking strand of bamboo. Dave once told my Daddy, "bamboo is the closest thing to eternal life I've ever seen."
    funny!

  4. Thus, you have answered the age old questiion that has always been pondered….Why did the chickens cross the road? Because they hated having their pictures taken! xo Diana

  5. Oh, but they're so cute and colorful! I could use some tick eaters here – this winter has been so mild that the deer ticks are alive and well!

  6. Nice to have company over for dinner — even if it's leftovers!

    PS — yes, you can plant the pussy willows. If you can work the ground, you can plant them. I've got several bushes that I started from cuttings. 🙂

  7. oh so obviously they saw you…..darn it. don't you kind of wish you had a chicken suit to put on as to fool them so you could up close with your camera 🙂

    happy saturday !
    xoxo

  8. I COULD WATCH THEM ALL DAY. I CALLED ONE OF THE PICTURES. LADIES OUT FOR A WALK. I LOVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH NATURE. SO SAD WE HAVE TO KILL THEM FOR FOOD. I COULD NEVER DO IT.
