Chicken Chickens

Light Brahmas

This morning, after E had climbed into bed with me and snoozed a while, she said, "I can see the chicken's head move." We watched the two Light Brahma hens cluck and pace the railing of the small balcony on our back. Thinking about jumping down to the ground, but not sure they could do it. They verbally complained about their predicament. One, after nearly a half hour of pacing, finally jumped. The other squawked louder still. Ellie told me, "You should go help her." So I went to the back, picked her up and gave her a toss. She less than gracefully landed in the back yard.
