| The Other Side of the Fence |
Ever seen one chicken on both sides of a wire fence? No, I did not cut a larger hole in the wire, or touch any of the chickens. And yes, despite all that wonderful grass I described in my last post, the spoiled hens soon grew bored and began to look for snacks elsewhere. Peeper had a competitive advantage from the start since it had a naturally very small comb. This allowed easy passage through holes in the wire which would otherwise cut or trap a regular hen's taller comb. Dandelions seemed to be the first choice food once Peeper successfully had its head and neck outside to freedom. And I never even knew chickens like dandelions!

Acorn seems much happier outdoors than stuck in the coop. Or is that a bit of a mischievous look yet I see in those eyes?

Isn't Peeper the one that cut it's comb?!:)
What a cute picture - barred rocks are so pretty.
Yes Peeper did cut its comb...I believe it was this kind of maneuver that did it, too :)
The grass is always greener on the other side...
Wow! It's actually eating a dandelion! How cute!:p)
