It was a COLD morning, and husband noticed this little hen shivering up on a perch, so he grabbed her (Get your hands off me! Put me down, brute!) and stuck her in his coat (Oh. OH. Ok. This is good.)
Then he took her for a walk. When they went outside in the cold cold air she sucked her head all the way inside the jacket like a turtle.
They came and visited the house chicken, and she and Cheeks had a remarkable conversation, a back and forth with a whole series of sounds that you don't hear every day out of a chicken. We were both just quieted, listening. What are they saying?!
You're alive! We had no idea. Benny's been worried sick.
Let me tell you, the snacks in this place are unbelievable. They just do weird things to my feet sometimes.
I'm in a jacket right now, I can imagine.
How is everything in the greenhouse? You must tell Wilma that the right side of the perch is mine. If she thinks otherwise she's got another peck coming.
When returned to the greenhouse, the traveling hen resisted being extracted from the coat, burrowing in and struggling to stay. No, no, don't make me get out!
