There has been a big (to a chicken) brown box (BBB) setting just a feet away from the pasture fence for a couple of months now.
And for the last couple of weeks, some additional strange noises emanating from said BBB - chicklet cheeps! It must be driving the horses crazy how a BBB could be making such noises (Blue has been known to dance in front of the dog's pen to get them going, but he can see them directly!).
This afternoon, Kim (daughter-in-law) and grandkids (Macy & Chelsey) were feeding (aka "playing with") aforementioned chicks - IN the BBB - and noticed Blue coming over to the fence with eyes riveted on the BBB and whichever one of the girls was outside.
He came over to the fence and was cocking his head to see around fence boards. Obviously he was interested in all of the above and wanted more loving human interaction. So the girls walked to the fence - and Blue walked back about 3 feet.
The girls retreated - and Blue walked up to fence.
The girls walked to the fence - and Blue retreated... Get the drift? Happened multiple times.
After several repetitions of this "dance", Blue decided he definitely had achieved his goal of diverting the attention of the humans (sort of smiled - like he won - and looked like he giggled) from the BBB and walked to the fence with the girls at the fence, letting them get close to him for his well deserved hugs and kisses.
Yup! Blue knows how to attract the girls!
