I have fallen in love with you again nambroth..Well told tale....brought feelings of joy to my heart, Maybe Derp is growing up alittle??? :cdDerperella Gets Into A Fight
A few mornings ago, just before Christmas, the Fud Lady was going out to tend to the chickens as usual. Sometimes the Fud Lady makes some chicken oatmeal; that is, thick oatmeal that has the powdery parts of the chicken feed added to it, to... lure... the ladies into eating this unsavory part of their meal. It was a regular sort of chicken oatmeal morning. The oatmeal is made, and carried out to the coop. Sometimes there is a little song about chickens and oatmeals, and inevitably it is interrupted by rude "BWAAAAA???"s emerging from the coop as they hear the Fud Lady coming. The Fud Lady took the chicken feeders out in order to inspect and fill them. This was normal. Every Chicken huddled at the door, leaning out to peer at the happenings with great interest. This, too, is normal. What was not normal was Derp. Derp stood very tall. Very, very tall. I have fallen in love with you again nambroth..Well told tale....brought feelings of joy to my heart, Maybe Derp is groing up alittle??? She Derp-grumbled in only the way Derp can. And then she pecked Moa, Queen of the Flock, in the head. Every Chicken got very still. Did Derp really just do that? Moa stood up very tall and looked at Derp. One could almost hear her thoughts. "Really?!" Derp stood up even taller. "BRRRRAAAAH" she growled, and pecked Moa in the head again. The Fud Lady just stared. What on earth? Moa got even taller, and like a mother swatting a child for acing unreasonable, gave Derp a peck back. There. That should do it. Honestly, what was with her-- Well, that had done it. The reprimand put Derp over the edge. Every feather stood on end and she popped her umbrella (this is to say, her hackles stood right out!). Derp uttered every curse word that chickens know, and Moa would have none of it. Moa puffed up and "Harumph'd" right at Derp. All of the chickens ran! Ran! Out of the coop, except Moa, Derp, and the Rooster (Bubbles doesn't run anywhere. He gimps). They didn't want to have any part with what was about to go down. Quick as a flash, Derperella was leaping into the air, kickboxing Moa with great ferocity and speed! Moa, who is very rotund and doesn't do anything with speed, threw out her bosom (it is mighty) and started bouncing Derp around. She would have none of this insubordination! Baron Rufflerump (Bubbles) was instantly upset. No, no, no, no! No fighting, ladies! In his handicapped way, he tried to grab the two of them, and put wings out, trying to break it up. Oh, but this riled Derperella right up! Boing, boing! She was pinging around the coop like a tiny raging pinball of a chicken. Moa was blustering about, trying to reign dominance, and poor Bubbles was trying to make it all stop. Finally, Bubbles managed to sit on Derperella gently. All of the other chickens snuck back into the coop to watch. Derp flattened herself, and Moa strode over and gave her one simple peck on the head. Derp submitted, and everyone froze and stared at each other, unblinking, for two whole minutes. Then, as if on cue, they all began milling about and asking for their food, please, Fud Lady. As if nothing had happened!
