Thompson's Mill

          We went to see an old mill it was not a working mill but it had very good information on how the mill worked in its day. There was a lot of chickens and ducks there they also had turkeys but they were not as friendly as the others were. It was funny when we (Judy and Walter and myself) walked up the animals started running toward us like they wanted attention or something. BUT that was not the case we didn't see the feed machine. So one of the chickens fly / jump up on the fence and waited for us to put money in the machine for food .  As I was trying to get the food out of the machine I guess I was taking too long and she didn't want to wait so she climbed on to my arm and started eating the food out of my hand and from the machine. She was very impatient for sure!!! Well I hope y'all enjoy the pictures..

There she is the greedy one!!!
