competition comes to a halt

the barnyard competition is ramping up, fowls are in a foul mood. Farmer’s wife brings out some pathetic, wetted down poultry food. Farmer will be by in a second she says, as the competition gets fierce. We know he has a first name, we have heard her call him “Pierce”. Green hen is doing a lot of bragging about being the prettiest bird. Yellow spotted hen is rolling her eyes; she says “my word!” Baby chicks are gathering, thinking they have a chance to win. Until Pierce comes along, bringing a male peacock in.
