Stampede
A stampede of chickens is not unlike a stampede of cattle, it's just quieter! Ten hens equal eighty claws madly pounding the earth, it's quite impressive! If you are unfortunate enough to be caught in a stampede of cattle, you run the risk of possible bodily harm or death! Whereas with the chicken, you run the risk of your possible emotional harm and their possible death! The stampede pattern is the same with all the crowding, pushing and weaving, but chickens do it all around your feet! Herein lies the problem! I have tried to outrun them, but if I am carrying the goody bowl they tend to pick up speed with some going airborne! The granny shuffle is a wise choice yet very time consuming let me tell ya!

Juggling Chickens
It's really hard to juggle chickens! I felt like we should do something to celebrate the sun! Yesterday we suffered thunder, lightning and hail! The sad attempt to juggle them for a bit of fun fell short of success. The pecking order got in the way, apparently I got it wrong. The evening ended with soft happy cackles as we strolled past the mole hills and field grass to the coop where they happily roosted.
