The roosters do. My neighbor has been raising chicken and pheasants since I moved into my house. I haven’t been bothered by the crowing too much though.
one of my favorites, this sketch — looks as if they’re happy feet, ready
for dancing. (I can almost hear the music.)
.
so, have the chickens already moved in, next door ?
.
in any case, this does sound like good news — they should make for
good neighbours, and for learning (and sketching) new things.

see what we have done locally:

one of the persons responsible for this is Sue Medaris, chicken-rancher
and artist. her work is great – and so is her sense of humor and approach

I won’t be surprised to hear that you’re naming some of the
chickens, and that they’re responding to you and your voice.
they return affection and attention. you should have many
happy returns in the sketchbooks, as well.
Well, if it’s actually a chicken farm instead of just a few chickens, I hope the wind always blows away from your direction. Believe me the stink from a chicken farm is AWFUL.
Cute sketches Susan. Tell me, do their eggs “self cook” in the Texan heat? Chicken farmers, here in Scotland, realising folks preferred legs to other parts, genetically engineered birds with extra legs which were supposed to taste better. They still don’t know what the flavour is like as no one can catch them.

Excellent work Susan. Much better than my chicken scratching indeed.

Nice lines, like always. I hope the chickens don’t crow to much.

Okay, thanks rbagwell. I hope your neighbor shares the eggs with you!

I hope the multi-leg chicken story is a joke. That would be all wrong! In the Texas heat, the chickens stop laying eggs. Smart birds.

Oh Susan! Of course its a joke. D’ye no’ ken me by noo?
