Blueberries!?

I was so pleased and surprised to find actual blueberries!  We have a fair number of blueberry plants, that are besieged by field weeds, but besides that, I've never beaten a chicken to a blueberry.  They clean any intrepid berry off long before they reach blue.These berries are on the chicken-less far side of the former pasture, but the wild bird population is very strong too, so it's a pleasant surprise to find a few ripe berries of my own!  There were three whole plants with blue berries!I was at a friend's this week picking berries in a lush, abundant field.  He doesn't have chickens.
