| Tractor Chicken loves tractors |
John has a huge safety problem: Tractor Chicken. When she hears a diesel engine (like on the tractor), she runs over and stands too close to the tractor. As it digs, she jumps in the hole or in front of the tractor and eats the grubs and worms that are uncovered. John has almost killed Tractor Chicken a couple of times. Once, while pulling out a willow tree, Tractor Chicken jumped into the hole the tree left behind. But John didn't know that and set the tree back in the hole so that he could get a better grip on the tree. Tractor Chicken began squawking so loudly that even over the loud diesel engine John heard her and quickly pulled the tree back out. Below are some comical photographs of what Tractor Chicken and her girlfriends do in newly dug earth:

They have quite a dance routine there. Great pictures and especially like the first one where your cute chicken on the right looks like she is kicking up her heels.

Great shots of the chickens, but gosh, she must be stressful to have around! Do you have a coop you can put her in while you guys use the tractor?

ReplyDeleteTractor Chicken is a very brave chicken that doesn't fear any man-made machines! What a funny story :)

Maybe Tractor Chicken needs to put in a safe place when the engines come out! :) Happy 4th!
ReplyDeleteThat is just too funny!! She'd get along well with my neighbor - Diesel Woman - who drives the biggest, loudest diesel pick-up truck in all of Nova Scotia. ~karen

I grew up around chickens and I saw this type of behavior a lot. They really like freshly disturbed earth. An interesting post.
