Him: Why is there a chicken in the cat's PetTaxi?
Me: The big rooster was attacking him a bit too much. I'll put him in the coop when it's dark.

------------------

Him: Hey honey, should the light still be on in the coop?
Me: Daggummit. Dang stupid cheap timer.

-------------------

Me: Hey, you know what? I think I know why the timer's acting up. I caught a hen pecking at it today!
Him: Isn't the socket like 3 feet off the ground? How did she reach it?
Me: She was jumping for it...like she does when I feed them treats.
Him: You taught the chickens to JUMP?

"Bye hennies! I'll see you a bit later! Lay lots of good eggs!"
"Gosh I think Pip is FINALLY laying!!!!!"

 

[BullChick]

With the economy the way it is, I cannot afford another pet. But I can always afford more chickens! They give me eggs to eat, and if they aren't laying, they give me meat!

 

[Farmer Viola]

"Hey cat, when are you going to start earning your keep around here and lay us an egg?"
