Fowl Watermelon

September 29, 2010

The Farmer’s watermelon crop is slowing down.  He grew a LOT of them this year, but there are several little ones that won’t have time to ripen before it gets too cold.  So he’s been busting them open and feeding them to the fowl – the chickens especially like them.

Of course, he had a little trouble opening the gate with all those little watermelons in his arms!

Getting the gate open with an arm full of watermelons is tricky indeed!

But he made it, and went on his merry way!

Watermelon delivery in progress!

As you can see, the chickens keep pecking at them until there’s hardly even any shell left!

"There must be a little bit left somewhere!"

I’m sure the chickens will be sorry when all the watermelons are gone!
