Chicken in the road

I left home early this morning for a doctors appointment and found these chickens in the road near our house. I guess they were looking for some early morning grit. The appointment did not go as I hoped. Seems I have damaged the nerve in my thumb and it can not be repaired. The  thought is it may repair it's self after few months at least some.  So, I guess I have to get used to the numbness for now. Also my index finger issue can be resolved with surgery but I plan to put that off for a while. So no joy for me today.
