Chicken Chasing
Yesterday I commented on the heifers chasing the chickens. Today I have a picture of a heifer running at a chicken to get it. I wish I could have gotten more but the camera takes a long time to recycle between pictures.<br />n<br />n<center><a href='http://www.sarpysam.net/gallery/Cow-Pixs/cowchicken02212006?full=1'><img width='250' height='167' border='0' hspace='5' src='http://www.sarpysam.net/gallery/albums/Cow-Pixs/cowchicken02212006.thumb.jpg' alt='' /></a></center><br />n<br />nThis Momma…

A lot of times the new mothers won't even let the chickens in the pen with their babies. It's real funny to see a cow chase a chicken off.</center><br />n<br />
