Now that the chickens are on the loose in the yard, we have a couple of kitties who are VERY curious about our new lawn decoration. The chickens wandered up onto the porch the other day and had their first encounter with Porter and Harlow:
Lucky for those birds the screen door is sturdy, because within seconds of taking this picture Porter lunged at them and darn near tore it off its tracks! The chickens were terrified and ran squawking and flapping all the way back to their coop at the other end of the yard. I could hear them clucking their annoyance to each other for a good 15 minutes afterwords. They haven't been back up onto the deck since which is probably a good thing because Porter is anxiously awaiting a second chance with them!
