I'm new to the chicken realm, and have been working on "coop construction". I sent a text to my BFF (who I think thinks I'm NUTS now that I have 3 Jersey Giants) that said: "Sorry, I can't go shopping today...I'm painting my coop."

"They 'aven't any muscles in their bums"
-quote from my friend Stuart, who speaks with a british accent and drives a porsche, explaining why birds poop just anywhere.

Quotes from me:

"I'll take care of your ducks if you take care of my chickens"

"Finally! Pets who feed me!"

"Can't stay, have to go lock up the chickens"

Should the chicks stay inside or out tonight?

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"

"I'm painting my chicken's nails obviously/"

"You're strange."


"Yup."

Oh my gosh!!

We did that with our day-olds to tell them apart... Yeah right, they just looked pretty with silver polish...

Here is a conversation with my favorite pulle t-who is not even laying yet- from the other day:

Me- "So, when are you going to go broody so I can stick Silkie eggs under you?"

Kitty (pullet)- Bawk, bawk? BAWK! Bawk, bawk Bawk!

Oh, and one more I have to add.

"I need to order some chicken diapers, because I want ot take my pullet to PetSmart with me!"

Hey, the sign outside says "pets welcome." It doesn't specify species...

I do that with chicks too. I paint the suspected boys nails a dark purple shade and suspected girls get a light pink. Then I can tell if any of my day old sexing methods work. I definitely never thought I would paint chicken toe nails. Yup, I am a total rockstar.
