Chicken Haiku

[featherhead007]

I dip my wing, dance in a circle, and shake my waddles. Will she ever love me, says the roo.

Two haiku's I also added to my Poultry Poetry thread:

Sun warms the pavement
Orloff sinks down, fans out wing
Relaxed, contented.

--
Watermelon time!
Chickens scramble for the red
Beaks pecking non-stop.

Exponential Math
One Chicken Two Chicken Three
Suddenly Twenty

Chicken math hit me before I even had any chicks. I planned on ordering 6, but decided on 10 all of different breeds. I have not added to the flock, yet, but my coop could easily hold 20. So I could get hit with that bug anytime.....

I can relate to the watermelon haiku. My chickens love watermelon.

A cookorookoo
My hen on top of the run
surprised she can

I once had a young poulet jump up to the top of the wire fence where the bird netting on top pinned her in place. She was miserable until I was able to untangle her and put her back down in the run. Only time any of my birds ever tried to pull that stunt, and I still don't understand how she managed to trap herself. Probably a haiku somewhere in that story.

Murder in the coop
Who is killing the roosters
Widow maker hen

Turned out one of my hens hates roosters... so she is in solitary now.

Wow, never heard of that before! Was the murdering hen so much bigger than the roosters? Talk about being hen pecked to death....

Look there, an insect
I, the chick, will win the hunt
It is but a leaf

Inspired me to write....

Scratch and peck for food
Found some worms and bugs today
Feed until I sleep

I know many people here on BYC forums will relate, but Chicken TV is a real thing and I find it relaxing just to watch the girls being chickens, hunting for food, scratching and pecking, not sharing anything they find to eat....

Wow! There's a Netflix series waiting to be written. I've never heard of that before.

It happens a few other folks on BYC have hens they have to keep away from other birds. She is fine unless confined with one. She was always the fighter type in my yard... so despite her breed she is a dominate bird and will only show submission towards humans.

It is mine all mine
Run this way run that way run
Let me eat my worm!
