Took in a little "chook time" today...
Our chickens hatched from eggs in an incubator at my daughter's kindergarten on her birthday, so they gave her two: Sela & Judy (she named them)
They came home, two tiny fluffballs in a shoebox.
No-one ever taught them.No-one ever showed them. Yet as they grew they knew how to scratch, to dirt bathe, what to eat & what to avoid, how to scuttle blissfully at full cry, how to come home each night to roost ...
how to be successful at being a chicken.
There was no mother, no teacher, no "rules" guiding them...just survival each day with nothing to lose.
All came from within.
Every now & then I'll pause life & take a little "chook time", quietly sitting in the sun, watching them be...for they do it so very well.
