This is another little one in a series that I'm doing of this great little flock of fowl that I saw over on Inishmore in Ireland. They had the run of a fenced part of the yard beside the Lucky Star Bar. The building itself was painted the most vibrant mustard yellow with red trim...these chickens added to the excitement of color, sight & sound! They were just dashing all around their little yard & came rushing up when I stood at the short fence to take some pictures. Did you ever get worried that a huge mass of chickens might run you over? They calmed down when they realized we weren't there to feed them.
