Chucky & Chickens

He does think they're too big to eat, and he keeps his distance fromt the rooster. But when he feels like it, Chucky likes to scare the chickens. Chase them a bit for fun, not lunch.
But Lenie (the darker chicken on the left) is still very protective of her child, even though Hennie is now an almost grown chicken.
Lenie knows she can put herself between the cat and her child, make herself bigger and trying to look like the ferocious chicken-mother from hell she really isn't. She has done so in the past. And so Chucky leaves them alone. There are lots of other things to amuse oneself with.
