Morning exercise

I don't know who they belong to, but every morning I see two white hens pecking away in the front yard of our neighbor across the street. When they reach a bit beyond her gate, they turn around and go back down the road where they came from. Not a scenario most people would expect in a metropolis like Manila, but you'd be surprised what other farm animals people can keep in their houses here. We don't have a law regulating things like this after all.

  1. Great colours indeed. Interesting as well to read, that they return on their own. Not sure about animals / pets over here, apart from usual ones.
    Please have a good Tuesday you all.

  5. comme sport, courir après une poule, c'est assez efficace pour perdre des calories (mais si après on la mange, on récupère tout ;o) )

  7. So cute to see! Maybe not so cute if the rooster crows at first light on your day off though.

  8. When I saw the photo I thought you were going to explain why the chicken crossed the road. It's nice that the chickens know their boundaries.
