As I was driving by this old barnyard, I noticed a few chickens hurriedly making their way across the yard to the shed. Then I spied the problem. A cocky rooster was purposely strutting toward the hens with just one thing on his mind. All I could think of was that the farmer bought a new young rooster and the hens were not pleased. I wish I could have watched what unfolded, but I was stopped in the middle of a country road (yet again). I can hear the ladies now, “We want old Mr. Doodledont back again.”
Many friends of mine think that this is an arranged cock fight.
I would like to say that it is not.
While returning from some place, I stopped to buy papayas in the roadside marketplace and discovered these fellows start fighting by themselves. I got just a minute to take a few shots before they were hurriedly separated, Nobody wants to sell bloody and injured chicken, right ?
The cottage garden had 5 chickens living in it and I took quite a few photos while we were there. I don't want to bombard you with all the photos in one go, so one a day!! Here's the pretty white chicken (through the window)!!

I have a lot of beliefs about stewardship, the environment, and modern mankinds disconnect from our traditional place in the ecosystem. I just don't have the time to get into it all here and now. I am off, ironically, to my job in the modern, service economy.

You can see we're in a bit of a dip by the terraced houses on the right that are on Shatter's Hill, the road that runs alongside the town's north walls. I was amused to see the chickens sheltering from the drizzly rain under the table by the greenhouse!

There's nothing I love more then a walk in the woods, even in the rain, like today. Chicken enjoyed it too...riding along ahead, each of us on our own path. Happy just to be.
If a man walks in the woods for love of them half of each day, he is in danger of being regarded as a loafer. But if he spends his days as a speculator, shearing off those woods and making the earth bald before her time, he is deemed an industrious and enterprising citizen.
