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. .
