Chicken Haiku

[orloffer]

Rounding up the hens:
Catch one, another slips out
Towards the fresh green grass.

I used to pick up my chickens and place them in the run every morning, but now, as soon as the door opens, they jump down and run for the other side of the yard as fast as they can. Similarly, they figured out that in the evening, if I don't latch the gate every time I close it, they can push their way out.

Cheep! Cheep cheep! Cheep cheep!
Running through the grass jungle
Mother, I am lost

Thanks for the bump, orloffer!

Started with a few
now there's too many to count
chicken math is real

 

[Tre3hugger]

Freezer tomorrow
deliberate intention
keep my movements sure

 

[Tre3hugger]

Black with a green sheen
Shine on glimmering emerald
Iridescent wings

 

[Tre3hugger]

From fat cornish cross
To regal welsummer cocks
Chickens sure are neat!

This is my very last
chicken haiku for the night
hope you hAve enjoyed

If you watch the Jurassic Park movies, modern chickens might be the descendants of the Velociraptors. They may be planning something evil and getting out the gate is just the first step....
