okra: Voyeuristic Chickens

Yesterday I let the chickens out in the back yard, but then went inside for awhile. I looked out of the family room window and when the chickens saw me looking at them, one of them jumped on a patio chair so that she could look inside at me, too. Today they came out of their pen and ate many bugs. They even discovered a delectable ant hill. Luca came outside, too, and was also chasing bugs. It was going fine until Sparky and Luca accidentally chased after the same bug. They were both very confused, and alas, the bug escaped.

Here's a picture of the girls; they sure have gotten big! They should start laying eggs any time now.
