We have all, I am sure, heard that joke involving a chicken who crosses the road. I recently found this picture that seems to give us a logical and modern reason for why that chicken had to cross. If you have found any other "explanations" (whether a photo or just a reply to the joke) then let...

Thank you, Amiga! It was helpful to be told ahead of time about this "phase" so I don't freak out and get overly-worried when they begin to act funny! What do they enjoy for treats? (I do not know what in the mess a sticky is so, hah, sorry!) And thak you for the love on their pictures <3 <3...

Our sweet little lady, a rescue by the name of Henny Penny, gave us the wonderful gift of her first egg on Monday. After three months of recovery, she finally showed us she is better with this WONDERFUL sign. I want to preserve the shell, does anyone have instructions as to how I may go about...
