I’m on a campaign to get the know the chickens better. I don’t spend a lot of time with the chickens, I’m not crazy about photographing them, but I do admire their industry and focus. Like Labs, they are smart about what they need to be smart about – food – and about nothing else.

They are free-range, they crap all over the place and they try to steal the cat’s food, so we have some issues. I often chase them away from the porch, and so they are sometimes wary of me.

But I’d like to get to know them a little better, maybe become friends. So I got a big bag of earthworms and i’m  feeding them worms two or three times a day. It makes them very happy, and we are working on our trust issues.

Come and see.
