Q loved having brave cousins who would hold the chicken while he stealthily and from a safe distance, pet it.

Of course, some people prefer snails over chickens. Notice my son is observing again. I guess he's a bit timid around wildlife.
He was so busy observing his cousins playing with creatures that he forgot about his own call of nature. Of course I'm the type of mom to go inside for more clothes, only to come back two seconds later to see this:

Naked Bacon!
He needed a tan anyway.
