Our chickens are really entertaining to watch.  During the dry season they regularly “splash” around in the dirt.  I suppose it is like taking a dirt bath.  Anyway they leave little hollows in the ground where they bathe.

This one made me think of crop circles.<a href="https://judythewriter.files.wordpress.com/2014/07/chicken-circle.png"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-4891 size-medium" src="https://judythewriter.files.wordpress.com/2014/07/chicken-circle.png?w=300" alt="chicken circle" width="300" height="169" /></a>

You know - those mysterious circles that appear in crops all over the world.

No one is really sure how they got there and many websites are devoted to speculations.  The most prevailing thought is that aliens land in the crops and leave an imprint of their ship.

So this begs the question – are my chickens from outer space?

In researching this possibility I discovered a cartoon:

So now I have another question – if the chickens really are from outer space, which of our dogs is Courage the Cowardly Dog?

Anyone have a suggestion?
