Here is a really weird looking chicken for this #featheredfriday by @melinda010100
What on earth is this?!
Now it has turned its head.
These appear to be a couple juvenile sandhill cranes.
They were hanging around in the herb garden of a local farm searching for insects.
They were both really tame and didn't care too much about my presence.
They are a bit tricky to photograph so close, you end up with just a tangle of neck and legs.
Now for the weird chicken. This gal was making a run for the sun.
Boom once she hit the sun she flopped over. Looks like we have a dead chicken on our hands.
Then it got up again and cooked the other side.
Now it is cooking the top. I think they do this to try and dry out their dust mites or maybe they just need vitamin d from sunbathing.
That's all for this #featheredfriday thanks for looking :-)
Wow! Nice chicken
it seemed a bit glitchy
Strange behaviour from the chicken, but awesome photography nonetheless!
It just learned the plank meme.
Oh yes! It is a bit behind haha.
The photos are very very pretty I like the second photo is also very interesting have seen the vegetation through its nasal septum.
Yeah the sandhill cranes are strange that way. It also seems to help them have an extra loud call.
They all have such beautiful feathers ! 😍
It was a copper theme that day for the birds.

like a white crane, but this one has a brown color
and a red featherless bald spot
Hmm, it seemed to me, or do these cranes have a hole in their beaks?
Haha funny chicken! Tans.
Yeah you can see all the way through their beak nostrils.
I saw them like wading birds, whether they were wild or tamed.
Cool shape.
Yeah they mostly hang out in wetland areas, the herb garden was too tempting for these two.
Yes.
Its beak is very large to prey on small fish.
They also eat field mice in one gulp if they are fast enough.
Yeah, they eat anything they can eat.
After the farmers plow the fields they look for various rodents that got chopped by the plow. They also eat whatever worms and insects are turned up in the soil.
Yeah, that's their food.
