1 2 3 GO!!!

[quiltnchik]

I was just peeking out the window at my eight almost 4-week-old chicks and, though I couldn't see what they were chasing from in here, I'm sure there was a fly or some other "treasure" flitting around inside their run, because they were lining up at the coop door, and then it looked like one would say "1, 2, 3 - GO!" and they would all take off to the other end of the run as fast as they could go!

I swear, I never would have thought chickens could be such a great stress reliever and antidepressant!

They are fun to watch. Right now though I have to spay myself down with bug spray to even go visit them.
