City Chicks by maggiemae

City Chicks

In a suburban shopping centre in Auckland, two families of hens live with their roosters (magnificent) watching over them. They stay around a small group of trees with a built in seat below. There were 7 chickens in one family and three in another.

Three good things:
1. A family gathering at sister in law's bed - the one in a rest home who can't talk or walk. She was trying to get us to do something and we just couldn't work it out in spite of lots of charades. In the end, we did by asking numerous questions!
2. Wine by the glass is no dearer than anywhere else in NZ
3. I can log on to my cellphone for internet coverage - faster than the one provided by the motel which can take up to 5 minutes to post one comment!
Awwwww too cute

We have 2 chicks that look just like these... as far away from you as we could get I think given we are in Bakewell, England :-)

Sweet. It reminds me of the chicken families that wander throughout Honolulu. They seem to adjust!

Precious little balls of fluff. I feel your frustration with Internet coverage that is Slow.

@skipt07 how about - "wanna walk along with this old rooster", Skip"

@summerfield ha ha, - an Aussie would probably say it like this - 'chips' are "cheeps' so chicks would be cheeks!
October 30th, 2016  
adorable balls of fluff!

How very lovely, the children would love these chicks....adults as well of course ")

@happysnaps One would think so, Valerie but didn't see any children around them, just an old man eating a sandwich and a red setter dog who wanted to eat the rooster!

How cute they are and a great shot, Maggiemae. Sorry to hear about your sister in law. It can be really hard to understand. 5 minutes is a long time. They must not have very good coverage.

OMG so fluffy!
