Video of the "hen house".

west gardener, what fun to see the video of your daughter dancing with the chickens. She was so graceful, it was a pleasure to watch. I kept hoping she'd pick up one of the chickens for a dance, but probably good she didn't.

Again, thanks for sharing; D and I watch a British show called "Pie in the Sky". The main character is a very heavy-set detective who also owns a restaurant called "Pie in the Sky". He has a chicken house in the garden, so he can get fresh eggs. He truly cares about his chickens and plays Beethoven for them, b/c as he says "a contented chicken is a happy chicken, and happy chickens lay better eggs". I was reminded of his 'hen house' when I saw the video.

Looks like fun. Had a variety of chickens many years ago along with goats, sheep and horses. Fresh eggs are so much better than the store bought . Banty eggs were so small and the greenAraucana eggs were a conversation starter but not noticeably different in taste. All fun critters with distinct personalities.

DD works part time in a small inn, in a tourist town in a coastal town in Northern CA. She tells me that the guests really like walking among the chickens and appreciate the "fresh" eggs for breakfast.
Since the hens are free range, they are used to people.
mawheel, lol, I would not be surprised if she break into song or play the flute for the chickens.

Enjoyed watching this, chickens are really quite amusing and interesting and the music went well with the show,

Such zen! I love her sneaky smile at the end

rob. "sneaky smile"?

Nothing bad. Just a happy smile that looked like she'd been doing something others might not do, and she knew was right to enjoy it. I say enjoy away! :)
