Chickentainment



Last night I was watching the movie 'Commitments' about some Irish kids in Dublin that started up a band whose motto was "saving soul". It was a pretty good movie with excellent music. I think I will look up the soundtrack and order it. I enjoyed the off-stage shenanigans of the band members. In one scene the women were all fighting because they had all slept with one of the band members. Two of them squared off nose to nose, yelling and screaming at the top of their lungs. I remarked to Murphy that they looked and sounded just like the hens when two of them get into a fight. They get beak to beak and jump up and down, screaming chicken screams and they fluff out their feathers. it's really funny to watch. Usually the rooster rushes over and breaks them up. He chases the loser off and gives her a good pinch with his beak. Murphy remarked that I am getting a lot of enjoyment from watching my chickens. He thinks I should write up a diary about them and all their ways. I will think about it.
