Being of petite stature, it seemed that if there was a "nutty" bird in the flock, it took a shine to me.

One incident that comes to mind is a rooster, Chester.

For some reason, he like to stalk me. Whenever I would walk to the hen house, I could count on hearing a "thump, thump, thump" behind me. I would stop, turn around and Chester would screech to a halt, then begin pecking the ground. This would usually occur two or three times before I would get that creepy feeling up the back of my neck and turn to see he was just about on my heels!

I finally figured out that if I turned and ran towards him, arms out to look big plus saying "shoo, shoo"...Chester would turn and tuck tail!

It's crazy...but I can honestly say that as much as I love God's creatures...chickens, roosters, peacocks...and now wild turkeys, can really get my goat!

Thank goodness you had neighbors to help you!

Until next time...Annie
