Photohunters: Caged

Several families in my neighborhood keep caged chickens in their back yard.

They are fun to watch and I had photographs I took last year of the chickens and their cage.

My neighbor held out her hand to get the chickens to come towards her so I could photograph them.

It was funny how they walked past feeders full of food and approached the empty hand.

Although chickens are allowed in residential areas in my city, roosters are not allowed. I think the chicken below is hysterical looking. She probably thinks I look funny too.

ancient one said...: Wonderful shots of all those chickens. No one wants to hear the roosters crow so early in the morning. We have chickens that have free range for now.; March 25, 2011 at 8:15 PM

eastcoastlife said...: Are they kept to be eaten? I hardly see any live chickens in Singapore due to the bird flu scare.; March 26, 2011 at 2:06 AM

Carver said...: Thanks to everyone for visiting. To answer the question about whether they are kept to eat, they provide eggs. They are far too much pets to be eaten.; March 26, 2011 at 9:13 AM
