Well we had a great Thanksgiving, and the collective family met the Dreamgirls, most of them for the first time.
But, I don't get the quiet looks and the little nods back and forth one when I give them a simple explanation of getiing the girls ready for company.
The girls had dirty feet. I have a bad back. So I set up a foot bath station on the table at waist height with three bowls on the table that sits outside the coop. Kind of like a dredging station used during cooking.
One bowl had warm water soapy water, one had rinse water, and one had warm extra virgin olive oil. I figured that would take care of moisturizing and any potential scaly leg mite issues at the same time.
I took each chicken and set them in each up to the top of their legs and went from bowl to bowl. They really seemed to enjoy it, with soft clucks and purrs. A quick toweling, and voila! they were clean and done! (Ramp was a little slippery for a while tho)
Of course, the comments ranged from where's the marinade? Garlic?? Did you set up the Grill?
Alas, I feel an intervention is in my future!
