I took a slew of shots of this little window of a chicken coop and put a few up here. Those chickens were hilarious.

Oh Ellen! I remember when we had chickens like these! Brings back some nice memories! Very good capture and they look as if they are talking amonst themselves, curious as to what YOU are doing??? :) #783387Ellen Powell November 10, 2007
You would have howled, Dianna. At first, a chicken here and there would come to the window and check me out. After about 5 minutes it became utter and total bedlam! They were all flapping and squawking, trying to get a space in the window! At the end of their war for the window, there were chickens quietly piled upon chickens, all smashed in the window! I pitied the ones at the bottom!!! What a bunch of bird brains! I was laughing out loud!! #5055734Karen Slagle November 17, 2007
Hi Ellen. It was hard to decide what capture to comment on but I really love this chicken image. I enjoyed how you described all the flapping and squawking and their antics. Also love the red and how they are giving you the eyeball. Your gallery is beautiful and full of wonderful images showing a different part of our great country. #5086086Ellen Powell November 17, 2007
