Chicken Haiku

[Sapphire Sebright]

Sounds like a guinea hen, that one.
I like it!

Low, protective purr
Rises to a warning growl,
SNAP! Don't touch those eggs!

Very good thread, thank you! Sister Mary Adele would have been so pleased!

Rises to a squeaky squeal much like a hinge in need of oil, more like....
All joking aside, good haiku!
Broodies are very inspirational....

Mower comes by, vroom
Grasshoppers leaping after!
Fat hens flap behind.

Covid's got me down
But my hens just make me smile -
How they peck and scratch.

First see little veins,
Next you can watch it wiggle
Pip, zip, welcome chick

I can see it, but I don't let my chickens free range. I mow the grass and feed them the clippings - bugs and all.

Thank goodness for chicken therapy, which works in all situations, but especially in these times. We all need more to smile about. Thanks.

I have only had laying hens for 1 year, and so far, no broody hens. After reading all these broody hen haikus, I think I know what to look forward to seeing someday.
