Chickens are indeed good entertainment. As I mentioned earlier, in the years that I lived in the Gate House at the Stamford Museum where I worked, chickens would wander down from our small farm to search for food on the lawn outside my kitchen window. I always got a kick out of watching them. They were quite aggressive if I put food out, not being intimidated by the crows who always appeared within 30 seconds out of nowhere, or the squirrels.

I also has a banty rooster as a pet when I was living at home for my first year of college. His name was Herbert, and I wrote a song about him. Chickens aren't just good for eating.
