Daddy recenty got some chickens and fixed them a nice veranda to live in. They lay eggs like nobody's business. He has 15 hens and one rooster named Big Red. He would name the hens too, but they all look alike. They have different personalities, some are braver than others, but it is hard to tell them apart. He's gonna build a large enclosure that he calls the "Chicken Dome" in front of the chicken veranda, and possibly install a goat moat to guard them -if needed.
He calls them chick-ni-busses while he feeds them. He said that's what Papa Elbert used to call them. Nobody knows why.
In a cunning move a few weeks ago, Gilligan dashed in and grabbed Big Red along with one hen and dragged them to the house, where Daddy took them away from him. Big Red lost most of his tail feathers in that near death experience. As you can see, he has not yet re-grown them.
