My funniest chicken story changes from day to day. Our chickens are darn entertaining. My husband denies having a favorite chicken and even thinks I am nuts because I like having chickens at all.. He might not realize but little Thora is his favorite chicken. She is a one year old Silkie hen. She "talks " to him, likes to be held, and is quite gentle. She would as the book says, "hatch a glass egg". She is allowed to roam as she pleases during the day. Yesterday my husband came into the house holding a little egg. "Look", he said,. "I found this right by the telephone pole next to the hen house. She must have not been able to figure out how to get in and lay it in her box so she did the best that she coudl. Poor little Thora." Poor Little Thora my foot.... maybe I should have delived our children next to the telephone pole! My chicks were 9 pounds when I delivered and I never heard, "Poor Little Pammy- she did the bet she could". You gotta love 'em!
