"You don't have to put on the red liiiiight!" Last week we have had the great honor of taking care of our neighbors chickens while they were away on vacation. Needless to say, the kids loved it and Mom got in there with her camera to get some shots of them getting ready for bed. The red illumination you see is their night-time heat lamp for warmth.

As soon as we walked in, 7 of them were on the roost in the distance but by the time I crouched and shot, they all hopped off!

I must be more sneaky - more images like this, soon!
