A ‘Me Too’ Movement Among The Girls?

Do the girls think that Jackson’s on his way back?

Ever since Jackson-the-Lover-Dog made his intentions known to horrified Clara, Farmer Nyel’s girls have kept a low profile.  Granted, when we are allowed a glimpse of them, it’s easy to spot Clara with her one remaining tail feather and we are quite sympathetic to her embarassment over her missing plumage.

We are not so sure, however, why Slutvana and Little Red Hen are staying out of sight.  We suspect it’s a sign of solidarity in the coop and that the girls are plotting and planning some sort of protest movement.  Perhaps along the lines of the #Me Too social movement among the human women of their acquaintance.  It will be interesting to see how they work out the matter of signage and whether or not they are able to get other Peninsula hens to join them.

In A Garden Corner:
Hunkering Hens

Meanwhile, even though I’ve been letting them out of the chicken run and into the garden, they have kept a very low profile.  They may be hunkering under the house.  Or maybe in among the most impenetrable of the rhododendrons.  I’m not sure if they are staying out of sight in case Jackson (or one of his compatriots) returns or if they just don’t want anyone to know what they are up to.  Either way… life with chickens is always a bit of a mystery.
