Feathering the empty nest with chickens.

Chicken west side story (a chicken ballet)

The scene opens panning over trees, grass, across a pond surface, up a slope and in the distance we hear a rooster crow! A short hesitation and there is an answering crow. It's early morning, the sun hasn't even peeked over the horizon and the rooster crows again, followed by a quick response. It's early morning in the chicken yard. Dew glistens on the wire fencing. Across one coop, in chicken, is sprayed the word "JETS", across another... "SHARKS". And a rooster crows.
