My wife and I recently rented a place in the Berkshires which is in Massachusetts. Three sanctuary animals live on the farm-like property, plus a chicken named Hanifer. A neighbor across the road had a groovy log cabin. I chose that for my first drawing. Hanifer the chicken began to gravitate towards me when I drew. He liked to hang out. The owner who we rented from told me Hanifer just showed up one day and never left. He was a runaway from a nearby farm. I wondered why a fox never ate Hanifer because there was no chicken coop to keep him out of harm's way. The owner said, Haifer always stays tight to the horses and the donkey. Foxes won’t mess with them. Hanifer’s gang is the real deal.
