March 23, 2020 Penny, Henny-Penny, and the Sky is Not Falling

Week 2

Meet Penny.

In fairness to Penny, this photo was taken last year, so some of her features have changed.
She is lovely, isn't she!
Penny shares her coup with 3 other chickens.
I guess you could call them 'family'.
They have been 'COOPED UP' together, from they were purchased by their owners.(Andrew, Lauren, Wyatt)
Wow.......
confined,
restricted,
limited,
contained....
powerful words that now take on new meanings in our brave new world.
Meet Penny's family: (Henrietta, Roxanne, and Sydney)

No doubt, these ladies have learned to get along.
In spite of the fact that they have established a "PECKING ORDER",
I firmly believe that chickens bond with each other. 
They would HAVE to, in order to produce this 👇👇👇

Do chickens get frantic?
Of course they do!

Have you heard the term "RUNNING AROUND LIKE A HEADLESS CHICKEN" ? HA! Read about it in the highlighted link. (Yep, I've noticed people's behaviors. Some of them resemble these frantic chickens😐😐😐)
..."This idiom originates from as early as the 14th century in England when chickens were popularly killed by chopping off their heads with an axe. Some ot the chickens ran around in a panic, crashing into objects after their heads have been chopped off, just before they dropped dead."...
Next meet Henny-Penny.(Paul Galdone Classics)
"Convinced the sky is falling, Henny Penny and a band of gullible friends march off to the king, only to meet their end at the hands of a wily fox."
