2015 - Day 356/9 - Tuesday...

If there is a lesson to be learned from the great chicken massacre of 2015 (and it will indeed be talked about for years and years to come), it is that you can fool some of the chickens some of the time, but you can't fool all of the chickens all of the time. I have long known that the chickens were wise to the ways of the animal world, and they are a couple notches above the bun-rabbits on the food chain. I have witnessed them RUN across open areas on the property to get to a place with shelter. They really like the thick bamboo between the house and their coop, and they have taken to gathering in the cactus/rose bush/canna bed in the circle. They are not total dummies. Of course the neighbors dogs proved to have some herding/hunting sense as well, but there has not been any issue with them since the last reported slaughter of chickens on their own property.

Don't get me started.
