Shake & 'Break'

One of our Rhode Island Reds found a baby 'Racer' yesterday.
She took about 10 minutes to break up the snake into bite sized chunks, shaking her head & beating it on the ground.

All my chickens are best seen on the table with gravy and fixin's, but I do like this. Good action and determination, for a chicken.

Nice dynamic, here. I might be tempted to crop from the right. The color looks good.
