Chicken = chicken?

We had made a nice coop and cordoned off a patch of garden, so we were all set to move our chicken ‘Samsung’. Without any effort, she was placed in a cat basket and apart from some tucking, she turned out to be a very easy travelling companion.

We did the return journey in 2 days, and on arrival she had already laid 2 eggs. What a model chicken!

Only we didn’t have much chicken food in the house, so off to the ‘agricultural’ shop nearby. ‘Cirke’ is chicken, and ‘étel’ is food so that was going to work. Or yet not…I was offered a frozen chicken. Once more into google translate: yes chicken – food all right. And then I thought: well, in French a pig is something completely different from pork. So that was it, our chicken is not a cirke but a tyúk.

Our tyúk seems quite happy with her new home, but the fence is no match for her curiosity. Accompanied by Mazy, who apparently thinks she should protect the chicken, she runs all around the garden. Getting the chicken back to her run she does not succeed. Oh well, a bit of reinforcement to the run and then she will stay in place. Lovely to exchange leftovers for fresh eggs again!
