Quote: That sounds like a BIG skillet of eggs. For future reference, you can tell a boiled egg from a raw egg by spinning them on their sides. The boiled eggs will spin fast, like a top; but the raw eggs will wobble and rock and slow down very quickly, since their insides are liquid...

Quote: There have been times that i didn't doubt the validity of that a bit. When my chickens were younger, i would sometimes wear shorts to the coop. At one point, i had a rash on my legs that was causing red scabs. I couldn't keep the chickens off of me for pecking at my legs. I had to...

Quote: Well, there are exceptions, but this one is generally true. Earlobe color often gives us a clue about egg color.

Quote: I call that the Woo Dance. Ahhhh, the Rooster Circle, Drop Wing, Dance of Love! Now, back to The Egg Song... It Is the same series of syllables as a warning cry, but like Cantonese and Mandarin languages, the TONE of the syllables signifies the meaning. Any experienced chicken...

Quote: That's it! That's what mine looks like too, he drops one wing, does a fancy step, then jumps on the girls! LOL I call that the Woo Dance.

Quote: Well, it's music to MY ears! Don't tell me you ACTUALLY think of it as a 'song"? Lol, I think most people are joking about it, but some don't seem to realize that it's actually a warning call, and not some sort of song. It's even funnier to me when people who are new to chickens...

Quote: This is absolutely the best one i've ever heard. Thanks!
