Subject: RE: BS: Birdwatching Challenge
Does it matter if we count the same chickens over and over? How do you guys know you are not counting the same birds? *Grin*

As a side note, the chickens we have here are feral, if you can apply that word to chickens. They are wild, no doubt about that. They seem to have a set route through the neighborhood. The roosters crow and ruffle their feathers and chase off rivals, the hens lay their eggs and raise their chicks. I love to watch a hen with chicks. The peeping and running to keep up with their mother is a riot. She scratches the dirt and the chicks run to see what she's uncovered.
