I dreamt I went to look at the chickens. There was a small hole in the mesh and some of the chickens were out. I shooed them in, but the run was now very big and next to a farmyard, and I noticed some of the farm chickens were also in the run, attracted by the food. They were smaller than ours, not having as much food, but I thought they would soon grow and be as big as ours. Also I thought the farmer wouldn’t miss them as they were running wild. A large cockerel was amongst them and to my amused pleasure began immediately to chase the hens. They all ran madly away.
My father was there now and said the chickens wouldn’t lay with that chicken chasing them. I said it wasn’t a chicken but a cockerel, and they would soon calm down.
My wife was now in the run collecting eggs. There were a lot despite, or because of, the chasing. My mother now came. I said the chickens would stop running eventually because the cockerel was bigger than they. She said, no, it wasn’t the size, but the manner and attitude of his approach. She meant it caused an instinctive responses them.
Chick-chick-chicken
