Something Wicked This Way

Came . . .

A couple of days ago I was eating breakfast and heard some ungodly noise coming from the chicken coop. I looked outside and didn't see anything, or any chickens for that matter. Then I noticed all the outside dogs in the neighbourhood are barking. They don't usually all bark at once. I decide to go investigate and find that the roosters have herded all the chickens into the coop and are standing watch just outside the door (and making a horrible racket!). I did quick check and found nothing. Very spooky! I think it must have been some sort of critter passing through to get all the dogs barking. After a few minutes the chickens were allowed out and all returned to normal.

Of course, my dogs slept through the whole thing on the couch . . .
