Kenzie & The Hen

Each day on the farm, you never know what you're going to get. Our latest adventure, the goats have decided they like the aviary and the chickens like the goats stall. We made a compromise, all the animals have to sleep in their assigned places at night, but they can go wherever they want during the day. One Plymouth Rock decided to test the boundaries yesterday. 

So the chicks aren't full grown yet and currently able to freely go through the gate of the outside pen. This penned area is for the protection of those inside as the dogs and anything else can be outside that gate. That particular bird found herself caught in the mouth of Kenzie, our psychotic Belgian Malinois/Corgi mix. To Kenzie's credit, she only held onto the bird and allowed me to remove her and bring her safely back to the pen. The chicken has a war story to tell all the other chicks now and we're grateful Kenzie didn't hurt or kill the bird. Kenzie is trying desperately to understand life on the farm, but she is much more relaxed playing with Mango in the cool air conditioning of the RV!
