There
was frost on
the
ground and so
were
the chickens.
I
don’t understand
the draw.
The
roosters have
gotten
brave enough
to
approach us.
They
will look at us
in
the same manner as
Bonnie
asking,
“Why don’t you feed me?”
At
least Bonnie has an
excuse
to look at us
that
way.
She
has been placed
in
our care after all.
The
fowl are all trespassers.
They
are not our responsibility.
I
have seen their owners
feed
them but evidently we
have
better grass, better
bugs,
better vittles somehow.
The
roosters have discovered
the
bird seed carelessly
fallen
to the ground
knocked
over by greedy
birds
eating from the bird feeder.
Roland
thinks it is his
job
to feed all of
the
stray animals except
for
the deer.
The
fowl are welcome
in
our yard.
The
deer are not.
Right
now we don’t
have
anything that
the
deer would be
interested
in.
The
fowl are
welcome
to eat
all
the bugs they want.
The
garden food is
for
humans.
Other
animals are
not
to mess with
our
garden.
