The story.. by maggiemae

The story..

I was standing in the bedroom looking across the road - hubby was not well with a lung infection but I was in control..btw! I saw a white hen in the the garden across the road where there was an abandoned house with the good bones of a good garden. A white hen! I grabbed my camera, put on shoes and crossed the road. Saw quite a few hens - red, white, grey, black, all rushing nervously back into the bush. Now there was a mystery. But on contacting a neighbour found that the original people who owned this land and now lived alongside us on our side of the road had put them here! You never know what you will see!
There was one black hen seen here on the other side of the fence trying to get back! See 'tag'
How exciting to have some chickens around! Maybe you can find some of their eggs ;-)

@ludwigsdiana This was in private property, Diana - I don't dare climb the fence - anyway I would probably fall over into the roses on the fence!

Thinking and action to get such a fabulous photo! Hope John recovers quickly and you don’t get too worn out caring for him

Quite a few feathers on the ground. Looks like they have been scrapping a bit in their new place! Some logs for the fire too! Hope John recover quickly, give him my best wishes.

The "Mystery of the Marauding Hens!" - good thing you found out the story behind it - it would have been pretty annoying to never know...

Well, now we know why the chicken crossed the road... good catch!

Get well wishes for John.

@louannwarren Thanks Lou Ann - now I've caught the illness - cough cough!

@happypat I've got it now, Pat - we coughed all night. Those that cough together stick together!

@grammyn I'm totally worn out now - having contracted this lung infection from him! No visitors and in bed for days!

@maggiemae bless me! Who’s going to take care of both of you?!
June 19th, 2024  
@grammyn No need for care - I can or John can prepare food, nothing else except bring in firewood.
