Yay! Well, I just realized that a boat won't do me much good in the middle of Kansas, so,we're taking a road trip instead! Woo-hoo!

Since my serama hen is very tame and goes everywhere with us, I get nearly as many stupid comments as with our fairly rare Italian Greyhounds. Which is to say, a lot. One of the most common is the idea that chickens are so dumb, mean, and filthy that I must have no sanity left to want to keep them. Another one I often get is people seeing May and screaming and running in terror as if May will eat them, even if she is asleep, as she often is, (not even a fork- lift bothers her enough to make her open her eyes). Luckily for my sanity, a few people are better informed or like May enough to change at least some of their ideas.

Quote: I almost got kicked out of a food co op, because of this belief, about 20 years ago. At the time I had Lakenvelders and Rhode Island Reds. A group got together and tried to ban me from selling the Lakenvelder eggs because they had white shells so were not healthy for people as the brown RI Red eggs.............They acted like I was trying to poision them.

Well, don't you know that you can only get white eggs by feeding them bleach? *sarcasm strikes again! I'll stop now.*

Thank you! Wilhelmine is a strange one for sure! She 's coming on our road trip!

So my brother's friend's mom came over today to take my brother to there house. We were outside while my brother and his friend got the Nerf guns they wanted to take. I pointed out Wilhelmine. I told her that she was a Naked Neck. She asked me if I have to go pull her feathers out or if they just fall out. I told her that she just hatched like that. At least she actually asked a question, instead of stating it. Then she as telling me how her mom told her not to get chickens because they just poop on the porch. I said, " well, the eggs are really good *bewildered look here*, plus we don't have any chiggers or ticks in the yard. She doesn't even say anything, but I think the egg comment confused her.

I got a new one today on my facebook!

I posted a pic of my new week old golden laced wyandottes this morning and a friend posted back:


friend: "so you're going to raise crows now?"
me: "no? what?"
friend: "the baby crows"
me: "those are baby CHICKENS"
friend: "no way. I've seen baby chickens. they are YELLOW."
me: facepalm

The funny thing is that my EE very much looks like a crow, I often great her with 'never more'.

Yay, another geek!(no offense, it's a good thing. Greeting your chicken with nevermore puts ya in the club.). I've got an EE named Annabelle Lee and a Naked Neck named Gollum (she likes to try and eat rings). *GEEK POWA, IN DA HOUSE*
