Farm Chickens

Chickens at work, scratching up the matted hay under a hay rack.

This chicken's name is Emu, large flightless bird, because a possum removed it's left wing.

Chickens at play, climbing trees...

I may be disturbing their nap...

Emu doesn't seem to mind that his wing is gone, does he?

Emu has occasional balance issues due to so much less mass on that side but it's usually hard to tell the wing's even missing. I was so surprised he survived, but doing well now. I worry going forward into rooster maturity how it will affect him...
