This chicken is not dead

[Tstraub]

I have been enjoying this thread but until today I haven’t been able to get a picture of any of my “dead” chickens. They always miraculously revive as soon as I get my phone out of my pocket. Here is my barred rock Oreo just relaxing in the sun

I wish I could get pictures!!
My Barred Rock Roo would sometimes poke his head out of the fence and go slump, It gives me a heart attack everytime because I think a raccoon or weasel ripped his head out through the fence!!

It came to a point where he did it daily so I switched the fencing so he can't pop his head out like that anymore so I would not get a heart attack. I did not know this but the changed fence thing actually stopped a mink from killing my chickens one time, So if my Rooster was not a trickster trying to scare me then we would have dead chickens!!!

This is Ganga din, the 1st time I saw her lying like this I thought something was wrong for sure, but no, this is how she liked to relax apparently

Something tells me this ant isn't sunbathing.

I confess to murdering the carpenter ant, but I did relocate the spider to the outdoors.

I would have killed the spider and rehomed the ant, but then my maiden name is Carpenter.
