This chicken is not dead

I got so scared when I went outside and saw her like that. Turns out she was just taking a nap after dust bathing.

Nobody dead here. Just a picture of big boy, Goliath and Little Red Hen. He is such a good rooster, he never bothers the bantam girls.

The fly really sells it.

OK winner winner eggs for dinner!

That is just awesome hahaha! Do you train him to do this? What a smart boy!

Reminds me of a foal I once had, she somehow was snoozing with her hind quarters out underneath the board fence!

I didn't want to spook her awake and if she couldn't get up she would hurt herself struggling. What to do?? Well I quietly walked over, reached for her hind legs under the fence, and then with an almighty HEAVE, I hauled her chunky fat arse back inside the paddock, I scared the living daylights out of her, she jumped up and both hind feet smacked me in the thigh/hip. Lucky it wasn't my face so I count myself lucky there!

Between the horses and chooks it's no wonder I am getting grey hair!

Penelope - she was great at play acting

He just loves to scare me! Must’ve Learned it from his mother.

Mother for comparison. I’ve already put this picture here, but it certainly shows where the little gobbler got his carcass talent from.

The resemblance is uncanny

It doesn’t bode well for them to pose as Thanksgiving dinner

I had forgotten about this picture. Sadly Maggie is no longer with us and the picture is from several years ago, but she was one of the first to terrify me on a regular basis.
RIP Maggie - I am sure you are still playing dead in the sunshine wherever you are.
