“Baby-EASTER Chick”- Hides for Safety!

Apr 1st “Baby-EASTER Chick”- Hides for Safety!

Following the story from yesterday, this is the 4th and last of the four “Baby-CHICKS” that I bought for a EASTER surprise for the boys.

This is one smart “CHICK” – he knows from paying attention to what was going on with his fellow “BABY-CHICKS” – they were not as particular as to what the enticement was – and ended up getting too much “LOVE” – from little LEE’s strong fingers – or maybe the other “CHICKS” were just not strong enough and or programmed for being a “FAMILY” pet ?

Little Lee is not two years old – looks like he might be about fourteen months – but he was determined to get a hold of the “BABY-CHICK” some how or the other? Looks like he has a small dish of chicken feed – and guess he thinks that just having the dish with food in his hand – that the “BABY-CHICK” is just going to come running to him – and that not this “Chick” want to be feed??

So this “BABY-CHICK”is pretty smart – he found for himself a very good hiding place.He figured that he could fit under that “TV” and still be able to move faster away – from, that great big baby Lee – who is having trouble bending and squatting and still being able to move fast after the “BABY-CHICK” – and that “pan of chick feed” might look tempting – but no sense in sticking my neck out for something good to eat – and maybe loose my head???

This “BABY-CHICK” was the one and only of the four chick that lived a good long time. We did have a “Cocker Spaniel” dog that was given to the boys and was kept outside – and was one very friendly dog. Outside our kitchen door was a large slab of concrete or small patio area – where the dog would eat his meals and spent a lot of his time. So, we decided to put the chicken out there also – and see what happens? Well the two of them became friends and ate from the same dish – and with no problems. Have a picture of them together eating and if I find it – will post it, too?

The chicken was an early riser – and he like to nest in some large bushes of my next door neighbor. Everything was “OKAY” for a while – but at some point in time this chicken like to let everyone – especially my neighbor, Mrs. Morgan – know what time it was in the early morning hours. Mrs. Morgan like us and the boys and I have her picture with her sister at the hospital to visit me and baby Al when he was born – way back in the 1960’s. That photo has been posted – but I may post it again – it is a good picture.

So, getting back to our “Rooster” who like to “Cockle- do” at Mrs. Morgan’s window – we had to find a home for him where he would be happy and live out his full LIFE! At the one restaurant that we used lots of eggs – my husband, Lee talked to the FARMER and told him of our problem. Well, the FARMER – said he he love to take him. Well that was one HAPPY ROOSTER – that must have thought he was in HEAVEN – He had all of the FARMER’s farm – just for his play-ground – he would just strut around as if he owned the place. This was truly – the right place for this – “Once upon a time – Our little “BABY-CHICK!”
