This hen, Penny by name, seems to be saying, with hands behind her back, “Says who?” With hens like ours, who needs the internet, when there is the possibility of endless hours observing the antics of our poultry flock?

The other channel, equally entertaining, is our two dozen sheep and Matty their bodyguard.

The only time these amusing animals are not up to their mischief is from sunset to sunrise. Otherwise, they are raring to go to keep us laughing.

Everyone should have chickens, sheep and at least one donkey. Says who?
