Another Home Depot Chicken Sighting

  The people in the parking lot look at me strange as I run around the cars trying to get close so I can take pix of the chickens. But I find them fascinating.  I think I'm definitely a farm girl at heart.  LOL  The other night one of them was on top of the shopping cart crowing away and I didn't have my camera.  I was so bummed. It's strange seeing them in such an urban setting.   They are so beautiful, with such attitude.  But it 's kinda sad that they live there.  I wonder if they are lost or abandoned.  But they always look very healthy, so someone must be feeding them.  :)  This one looks ready for the stewing pot.  JK

Another Home Depot Chicken Sighting

I can't even begin to tell you how many times I was at the Home Depot over the Thanksgiving break, shopping for this and that, never once seeing those darn chickens.  But then I got lucky, I had a sighting.  Actually I heard them rather then saw them first.  They were making a big ruckus cuz some little kids had spotted them and were taunting the heck out of them.  I calmly went over and in my scariest teacher voice told the kids to get lost , that they were bugging the chickens.  Those young ones looked at me and I could tell what they were thinking "Yeah right, who do you think you are lady?"  Kids these days- no respect!  Then they ran over to their parents and told them about the mean old lady LOL!!  

The Home Depot Chickens

Home Depot is one of my very favorite stores, and I'm there at least twice a week buying cool stuff for my students.  It is also the favorite place for these birds.  They live in the tree limbs at my Home Depot in Yorba Linda, so I always look for them when I'm there.  They don't seem afraid of people, they make a lot of noise, and are often found cruising the parking lot.  But the other day, they were nesting on the metal racks between the plants.  I love all the colors in their feathers and find them incredibly beautiful so I thought I'd start taking pix of them.  So from now I will be including in my blog random Home Depot chicken sitings  :)
