Meet the Chickens!

Hi, it's Celia again. Now that you met the goats and the family, it is time to meet the chickens.

We have about 20 chickens. Most are hens but we have 3 roosters. Mom didn't want 3 roosters, but that's what she got. Roosters crow ALL THE TIME! In the middle of the night, they crow. If a stranger walks up to the chicken yard, they crow. If your socks don't match, they crow. But if there is real danger, like a hawk or a fox, they don't crow. They make a noise that's more like a honksquawkscream. It reminds me of the noise James made when he tried to fit about 100 of those pointy pretzel sticks into his mouth. He fit them in, but he couldn't close his mouth to chew and all those points poked him. He made a honksquawkscream, too.

So here are the roosters.

 And Spike. He's the white one. He's camera shy:
