My Flock






This is what greets me every time I step out of the house.  The chickens come running from everywhere.  Then no matter what direction I turn I am surrounded.

When they figure out I don't have any FOOD for them, they usually disperse, but sometimes the roosters start getting romantic and then they RUN......
Blackbeard and Mini-Me have formed an allience and hunt the hens.
Big Red usually hunts alone, but that can be dangerous....
A sneek attack by an outraged hen is successful.
And poor Red needs some comforting after recieving a real thumping.
And of course Goldie wants to be held too!  The roosters are still on the attack!
But what's this....competition?   Nope, she didn't even want to be touched. Shw was just using me for a shield against the Roo's
But the rest of the hens have to find their own solutions.
Can you see me now!!!
And the result of all of this mayhem....

Kim: I've got to thin out my Roo's too! Just too much mayhem around here with the 4 of them. I am thinking about keeping Big Red, just because he is so darn colorful!
