This is The Best of the Best. I have read this so many times over the years, it never ceases to cheer me up, and I've shared with countless people. Most recently, I shared this with peeps from My Pet Chicken. The folks there are so awesome, they are great to chat and share stories with, AND, love chickens for the fabulous sentient beings that they are!
I would like to add one more proof:
If the weight of the chicken is what I call feather or fly-weight, the chicken does not count. I weigh my chickens by picking them up and it's quite an accurate method LOL! I have several little Serama bantams who are literally tiny puffs of air. Since they do not register on my "weight" scale, they therefore cannot take up any space, and therefore do not count towards my chicken count. So, out of my 9 chickens, 2 Seramas as fly-weight, so I actually only have 7! On a day when my weight scale is not functioning properly, that number can easily register much lower.
