CHICKENS, CHICKS

The pictures seen here are pictures taken while out exercising walking in the neighborhood in Southampton, Bermuda over about a year's time frame of walking.  The Chickens were either located in neighbor's yards, tribe road, school field, church yard etc. in the area near Heron Bay School in Southampton.

As Bermuda normally in the month of April holds their annual Ag Show  , I thought these pictures will be quite fitting for the Ag Show month because chickens like these will be on exhibit by Bermudians and their care to them. 

There are many more pictures to share which will be loaded or uploaded here on this blog soon.
