Poultry Power

Well, we managed to find a solution to our lack of horsepower - chicken power! Bucky was not at all convinced with my idea of harnessing a large number of our feathered chums to the cart, but I was determined. My idea was that, if we laid a trail of seed leading all the way to top of the hill, the chickens would follow it. Their natural hunger and concentration on the task of pecking at the ground would soon take their mind off the fact that they were attached to a cart by reins. I won't pretend that it was an easy job attaching all the lines to the chicks, and there was a lot of argument amongst the bigger ones about who would be "Leader of the Pack". In the end, the only way to settle it was to attach all the big ones, including Kevin closest to the cart so that it the little ones who were actually leading the way. So with that settled, and all the team raring to go, we were ready for what would surely prove to be a huge success, and, indeed a turning point in the whole history of poultry power...
