Surfnirvana Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 I have to share this with you as both my OH and I just couldn't stop giggling at the weekend. All the chooks were out and free ranging - we went into the garden to have a stroll round and to see what they were up to. They were all in my flower bed having a dustbath. When they saw us, they jumped out and ran over to see if we had any food. All of them that is, except for Betty, who rather than run as normal, did a sort of crouching "Max Wall" type of quick walk over to us . At first we thought she was injured, but when she reached us she straightened up and was fine! I picked her up and had a quick check over, but nothing obvious. However, we watched her for the next half an hour (boy they are such time wasters aren't they?), and she kept on doing this funny walk It was a strange crouching, tummy low to the grass, walking along as normal. It really did look most peculiar and Monty Python would have been proud of her! Unfortunately we didn't get any photos as we were too mesmorised! We've had them for 2 and a half years now and they are still making us laugh - bless 'em Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
