Happy Hunting!


Chickens are carnivorous, believe it or not. The other day I watched out back as "Red" chased "Uno" around the yard. "What's going on?", I wondered. I stepped out back and continued to watch. Red would chase Uno. Uno would outpace her, stop, and then Red would chase Uno again. Our # 1 mouser since the fall has been Scooter, our Maine Coon kitty. However, now we've got a team. "The girls" appear to be very good at catching mice who like to frequent our two composts. Uno caught a mouse the other day and Red was obviously quite envious of her prize.

Hmmm ... too bad there's not a market anymore for 1950-style Sci-Fi monster movies (or is rhere?).

Rough plot outline: nuclear waste somehow gets into chicken feed; giant mutant chickens develop; "Attack of the Killer Bantams" ("The terror begins when the clucking stops...")

Might be more effective shot in Japanese with dubbed-in English, tho'
