Chickens are people
Just like dogs.
They enjoy dust baths
And jumping on logs.
  
Chickens will play games
Like ‘chase’ and ‘steal your smalls’.
They’ll splash you in the paddling pool,
Though not keen on fetching balls.
Some of them are gentle,Â
Some of them are tough.
Some of them are bossy,Â
Some timid and soft as fluff.
  
They all have personality
And every one is different.
Just like Rover and Fido and Max
They might be quiet or exuberant.
I think I’ve told you this before, but I had chickens for years, and had a system of two runs, one that lay fallow, while they grazed the other, each run was planted with tree lucerne, had piles of rotting logs, and was liberally sprinkled with toys (plastic bottle caps were favourites) for the chickens. My chooks were happy, healthy critters, all were chook people, with their own chook persona’s. I loved their constant chook sounds. My cats would mingle with my chooks when i was feeding them, they all respected each other. I miss them (:
Oh, that sounds wonderful. We used to have chickens too, and they were so gorgeous – full of personality and all different. They used to tell the dog off for sniffing at their food 😀
