I think of this quote

"The world is full of magical things patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper" - Bertrand Russell

It is one of my favourites.

That's a great quote! And you're right, they are very similar.

Abject Terror or How did chickens get their name?

Monday afternoon was a complete terror for my flock. You can see the fear in their eyes.

I heard them squawking and came outside and found them clumped under the apple trees and then pacing back and forth along the fence. What was frightening them so?

A tree trimmer.

My neighbor was having her birch tree trimmed back.

These are hens who are all in my business when I run power tools. That chain saw was too loud for them.

Check out the fear as the flock runs from the apple trees to the corner behind the magnolia tree.

I felt so bad for them. It was almost 2 hours of this kind of terror. Poor babies.

Terrifying! (Done here recently too, as you know)

I've seen Mango on the POW thread and she's adorable!

Thank you!

I like this one.
The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts. Bertrand Russell

Poor dears! I bet the bucket in the sky freaked them out too.

My guys chase Rich on the lawn tractor. They love the bugs and grass clippings he makes.

Ha! Mine seem to view my lawnmower as a large, loud food processor too! They won't hardly even get out of my way. I have to shoo them out of my path.

That's a good one too, and very true unfortunately.

Can I just ask how Random got his name? (I assume that's the yellow rooster, right?)
