I guess that Louis has some experience raising chickens when he grew up in Basking Ridge, NJ.
He and Ruth were visiting me one time, in Henniker, NH, where I lived in the early 70's. Our household got 6 chickens to raise, and we enjoyed having fresh eggs -
Anyway, one time when he was visiting, the chickens got loose, and Louis showed a heretofore unknown side of himself to me by outrunning all the chickens and rounding them back into the fenced in area - and, almost unbelievably, he chased one chicken right through a 1 and 1/2 foot by 2 foot wide chicken door, without pausing or stopping, he just crouched down and scooted though without a second thought. I'm guessing that he had gotten a lot of practice as a kid, and that it was a well-learned skill. |
