Makes Sense

Cam called to see how the new flock was doing.  I expressed my concerns that all the chickens, while well behaved, didn't seem to have much fun outside.  In her postgraduate days, Cam had worked in veterinary pharmaceuticals and went to many livestock and industrial chicken barns.  She thought that these little kids might have been raised in a confined space and needed the comfort of close contact with each other, thus the huddling together.  Well, that makes sense.  I felt better in the afternoon when most of the girls were out in their yard and Stanley...well, Stanley was doing what roosters do, and crowing afterward.  That's progress.
