Day 836: 5 Minute Freewrite: Monday - Prompt: crazy eyes

This is my post for #freewrite Monday prompt crazy eyes hosted by @mariannewest

Right after we moved here, we thought it would be nice to have chickens and turkeys along with our two dogs and cat. We bought the chickens and turkeys when they were little chicks every day my husband took the dogs and cat to the pen and told them that they are babies and our friends he let them roam around with the chicks when they got a little bigger. The dogs or the cat never tried to harm any of the birds. But the birds would chase the dogs and loved to sneak up on the cat and scare her.

The turkeys were supposed to be all hens but one turned out to be a gobbler, we called him Big Gobbler. He got so big and fat that his hips went out. My husband made a sling out of an old clam bag, he would put it on Big Gobbler and walk him to different shady spots and walk him to and from the pen each morning and evening. We locked all the birds up at night but in the morning we let them run loose in the yard.

The chickens were all friendly except one, she had these crazy eyes and hated me. I named her Biddy Eyed Bitch. She would be all nice as long as I was looking at her but as soon as I turned my back she would run up and peck my heel, every damn time she did this. One of the other chickens was always by my side when I would be weeding, I called her Mama. Mama would go after Biddy Eyed Bitch when she went after me. Then a bobcat got Mama.

I think Biddy Eyed Bitch was in love with my husband, he would sit in the yard in the afternoon and she would sit on his lap with the cat on the other lap. As things go she lived the longest out of all of the birds.
