Because I told her to get off the neighbor's land.

Ask #AndrewLawler , his book motivated me to spread Chicken Power!! The decentralizing, democratizing, ecology-saving magic of chickens replacing the big livestock, like in West Africa... Some anthropologist is working out that story..

Adapting the Japanese-style yard to our ways is providing a lot of nice, appropriate areas for the chickens. Andrew Lawler's _Why did the chicken Cross The World_ suggests that the birds may have evolved in places like bamboo thickets. So the overgrown shrubbery provides the shade and air cover that makes the birds feel at ease, I guess.

bs2> Kirikongo’s chickens are currently the earliest known in #SubSaharanAfrica, and I have argued that chickens are of greater relative importance in egalitarian political systems since they are less likely than other domestic animals to be a symbol of inequality. These results are featured in the 2014 popular science book Why Did the Chicken Cross the World: The Epic Saga of the Bird that Powers Civilization by #AndrewLawler

The five newest chicks with their kindly brooding hen. This is the greatest number of chicks that a hen has after taken on... We will have to find more people to adopt. We already have 9 chicks running around getting big so they will replace the 8 we handed off two weeks ago. Two other hens are brooding over more eggs too. The nice guy I meet while walking the dog has plans to take a few to his brother in Osaka, but they don't seem to want more than 3 or so. One rooster and two hens.... They have plans to increase the number with the first 3 birds. Maybe if we are clearer that there is no need to pay for them, we are just happy for people to take them and raise them well.. Maybe they'll agree to take more off our yard??

#AndrewLawler's book:
> Dueppen believes that the rejection of cattle and hierarchy hinged on the availability of the chicken.
> Come the revolution, the fowl provided a viable alternative to the cow.
> Chicken bones quickly replace those from cattle. #Cattle are traditionally a male domain, whether in Britain or Burma, while chickens are typically under female control in pre-industrial cultures. #Dueppen suspects that women may have played a key role in overturning Kirikongo’s nascent elite.

Peach, the mean but maternally #Broody #SilkyHen, is with two generations of her chicks in a back corner of the yard under shrubbery. The more the back corner gets cut back and cleared out the more time they tend to spend back there. I think they need good views to warn each other when the weasel comes around. THese pictures are from a week or so ago (09/11) but it had me thinking about #ColinTudge's book #TheTree and #AndrewLawler'r book about #TheChcken, #WhyDidTheChickenCrossTheWorld . Those thoughts came back to me today while trimming shrubs and taking pictures of the cicks for my posts immediately preceding this one. .

> As the poison numbed #Socrates’s feet, legs, and then groin.. [He] turned to his friend #Crito and said, “We owe a cock to #Asclepius,” referring to the Greek god of healing and medicine. “Pay the debt. Don’t forget.” His weeping friend agreed.. moments later.. Socrates expired. The last words of a condemned revolutionary thinker, who was praised by his famous student #Plato as “the best and wisest and most righteous man,” were about a #chicken.

This #broody #silky hasn't come out of this box for a few days. I don't she has had any food or water... She might increase our number of #backyardchickens . I'm curious if she can hatch any eggs the first time around. If everything goes well and an egg hatches it will be fun to guess who's seed was used to fertilize the egg. In _Why did the Chicken Cross The World_ Andrew Lawler explains that the hens can store sperm for a month. So this weeks eggs might just barely be able to have half their DNA from Chuckarine the #Cochin .... Lawler's book was great, it talked about a society that chose to empower everybody, including women, by becoming more decentralized by rejecting large-scale cows for small-scale chickens...
