Something popped up in my Facebook memories today that made me smile.. so I have to share.
11 years ago? A chicken came to visit.
.
.
This particular fowl was accompanied by our farming neighbor and his young son because he knows I love them and used to “chicken sit” his flock when they were away.
.
.
As you can see the bird made itself right at home.
.
.
Of course it found the dry cat food on the floor so I moved the bowl to the counter… which didn’t make a bit of difference. (Ugh. That old countertop. Glad that’s history)
.
.
Alternate snacks were offered and accepted.
.
.
Needless to say our 3 cats were locked in the bedroom for the duration of the chicken visit.

It’s a chicken. Once he entered the kitchen, he put himself in position to be dinner.

Chickens are crafty, and I prefer to admire them from afar……or in a bucket..lol.

I like how the chicken is locked in line behind your husband and the little one is watching.

I believe the little boy wanted to take it home as a pet.

It was his pet, so yes… it did go home with him.

That chicken looks like it enjoyed its visit. I do think it was a good idea to stow the kitties away.

Yeah. Leaving them out would have given new meaning to the phrase ‘winner, winner, chicken dinner’.

I’d bet on the hen.
