Hens checking out the melon rind Yummy yummy cantalope!

Oooh, a bird right at my feet (the Phoenix). They are really becoming quite used to me, and still very curious to see what I am 'pecking' on (the keyboard). At first I thought they'd never get used to me, but now it seems as if they have gotten quite tame. Still a long way from having them 'leap into my arms' or being able to train them for dancing (yes, I'm serious. I think), but at least they seem positvely interested in me.    ¶ 6:47 PM
