These chickens may not be as fun as wild turkeys or rainbows, but I like them because they were running around loose. Sure that's kind of common, but they were also kind of little. There are some ducks in there too, but it's kind of hard to see in these pictures.
I don't often see little chickens like these. Maybe they are a particular kind of chicken. I don't know, I don't know that much about chickens. I just saw them and decided I had to stop and take a couple of pictures.
I took these pictures with my smartphone camera so I couldn't really zoom in too much. It was the whole scene I wanted to get anyway. The birds saw me and decided to try to run and hide in the cornfield off to the left. The ducks made it there first. The chickens weren't so fast.
I didn't even bother to get out of my truck to get these pictures. That may seem kind of lazy, but I think it makes me kind of versatile. I can get my pictures quick and then zoom on to the next mini adventure. I won't always do it like this, but it's a good option. Okay, I'll talk to you later.
They are fun to watch. I always think of a song by Asleep at the wheel called There Aint Nobody But Us Chickens.a real classic
ReplyDeleteI always laugh with happiness when I see chickens.
DeleteI love to watch chickens running around...they always seem so scatter-brained!!! Isn't it nice to see them roaming around so much land and not 'copped' up!!
ReplyDeleteThem not being cooped up was exactly what attracted me to them.
DeleteSometimes pictures from the car are the best way to get pics without scaring the beasties. Always enjoy a good farm scene.
ReplyDeletePictures from the car are a definite advantage. I do it a lot.

DeleteSome people have chickens here in the big city too! Not often ducks, though.
ReplyDeleteI've seen a lot of chickens in the city. Chickens were a favorite of my dad when we lived in the city. Lots of other people had them too. It always amused me to see them.
DeleteI love seeing chickens, Ratty and never really get so see them anywhere here. Very cool shots
ReplyDeleteOddly, I don't see them very much around here either.
DeleteWe always expect for surprises out of the ordinary.
ReplyDeleteSometimes the ordinary can give us great surprises.
