It's just a cardboard box!

But according to my flock the large white sqare thing is a chicken eating monster.

I had just added another shade tarp to the coop and had the group in 'jail'.

I put a cardboard box in the yard for them to investigate but they are rather alarmed to see this thing in their yard

They race past me and stay behind me to make sure the box does not attack them

They eventually gain courage to get a closer look

They try a sneak attack behind the blocks

Cardboard Chicken seeks comfort in my lap

Finally Morse Code can't resist a vertical surface and moves in

Soon, her pecking has others moving in

Jennifer scootches across the top of the box

Soon the box succumbs to all the beaks

Resistance is futile

Yay They killed the cardboard box monster. Good girls! They are so cute with new things sometimes...plain silly. And why was Mr. JerseyG iant not leading the investigating and attack? hmmmm I'f keep my eye on him if I were you.

I wonder if wet cardboard boxes cut like tunnels would keep my chooks cooler...

Thanks for the kind words.

Stan The Man and Little Joe ain't the bravest cockerels! Little Sister keeps them in check so they hang back.

I didn't see the Ghost Chickens but found them later on the memory card.
