chickens play games, too

When the chickens discovered the windfall apples, they immediately began to play a game. The rules were known only to them. Or maybe they were making them up as they went along. First off, a huddle. Or a scrum. Hard to tell from here.Then the chase after the apple.
Or maybe it's hide and seek.
Soon Chevron realizes this is all beneath his dignity.
Since there's more than one apple on the field the game unravels and anarchy ensues.
