Protective poultry
Some people say chickens are dumb,
but I'm not so sure.
I made a post over at Avian
Aqua Miser about Brad
Krueger's pet rooster
alerting him and his wife that the house was on fire.
Maybe chickens have a hidden
skill that can function as a backup smoke detector?

chickens
My chickens are not brilliant as people are....but they are pretty dang smart. Of course they are also very independent and don't always see things the way I do. That doesn't mean they are dumb, just that they are not people and have different goals than me. They dutifully set off the chicken alarm when anything out of the ordinary occurs anywhere on our two acres. Animals are not dumb, but some are brighter than others.
