[Jacob-list] chickens and sheep

[Linda]

Last week I noticed two of "our" free range hens had new chicks.  I haven't the foggiest idea what kind of hens these 
are, but they are more of a primitive, wild looking chicken - nothing like the Buff Orpingtons that I have.

Sunday morning it was raining and I looked out the window to see all the sheep standing in the rain looking into the 8 
x 16 run in shed.  They were all just lined up in the rain.  One lamb ventured in and immediately came running out.  
Then a ewe started to walk in and did a comic back peddling retreat.  By this time, I figure I need to go out there and 
fight the bear that must be in the shed.  Nope - one mad mother hen was holding off 26 sheep!  Later that day I heard 
my 80 lb Shar Pei/Pit Bull yelping and looked out to see Lucy, tail between her legs, running as fast as she could, 
with the same hen hard at her heels.
