Sometimes I talk to animals or insects, sometimes I talk to my plants also. A couple of days lately, the neighbor's rooster got in my yard through a gap in the fence. I was a bit surprised, because it was the first time any chicken had come in my yard. Then he started following me around while I watered things. I talked to him and he didn't seem afraid of me. But my cats seemed a bit worried about him. Funny thing is, I'd just talked to someone at the veterinarian's office the day before about their flea and tick product for cats and for outdoors they mentioned that chickens or guinea hens are helpful to cut down on ticks and such. Obviously, I live out in the country. He is welcome to any fleas or ticks he finds around here. But most of the time the neighbor keeps the chickens penned up.
