Didn't we hear this same bedtime story last Spring? I seem to recall that we suggested the chicken man decide which breeds were his FAVORITES and then resist any temptation to add more.

Of course, if this chicken man has the space, he could always allow the non-affiliated roosters just to wander around the yard as eye candy and entertainment.

This particular chicken man once made it to step three of the recovery program only to fall back into the abyss of chickendom because he started hanging out with the wrong crowd.

Whatever you do, do not buy that LG I have heard so many Horror stories from them, they are Chinese made!!! enough said. between me and KC we could design you a super duper one for pretty cheap that will hatch a bunch. I can get the AL-A-Bator cabinets for a song. and you saw all the cool parts KC can get. Just think about that before you jump to the LG.

AL

Al, would you be willing to share the plans on the incubators with my husband and I? We are kicking around the idea of having one--we just love these chickens!

Here is the page featuring Al's prize-winning cabinet incubator. He won a Major Award!

Well, I never said I was talented. I just got a lot of people to give me money for it.

Got tired of the touring, though. Set out on tour one year with my one-man show on September 17 and got home on June 6 with just a break for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Over 520 shows, sometimes 3 or 4 a day, from Indiana to Long Island and from Massachusetts to Virginia. That's hard on a man with a family.

The next year I was in library school!

That's cool you are a puppeteer, too. We'll have to get together sometime for a jam session.

So, this newly married city chick (married a cowboy) went into a feed store for the first time in her life.........she goes to counter and asks the clerk for horse feed.....sweet feed is all her hubby told her to get.........so she says " I need sweet feed for my horse"
clerks asks her....what kind of sweet feed? I have NO clue what sweet feed is she said.......he just said get sweet feed.
Clerk asks what kind of horse does he have? she thinks......

. WHAT? what do you mean she asks. He has a tail , 4 legs and a head with 2 ears ! and he is brown !

He says........while looking at her odd. ......where is the horse kept?
she says, wondering why he would ask such a question ..........OUTSIDE

she replies , trying to be civil !
He does his best not to laugh out loud but she can see his laughing eyes

........he then asks, where do you keep the horse?
She again wonders what that is all about

and says , At home. while trying to figure why he is so confused and he works here
He laughs outloud this time and asks where at home?

She is really starting to not like this man..

.....wonders what information he is trying to get out of her ( she is a suspicious city girl afterall) . .so she says OUTSIDE !
He roars with laughter

and turns away as to not insult her.........
Too Late.

She is confused, insulted and ready to go home empty handed and never get sent to buy horse feed again......
He then asks what the horse is used for.......she says.......well, hubby doesnt use him anymore he is a retired beat up , injured cowboy.........OH the man says, he is a quarterhorse? No....she thinks he is ALL there...........
Clerks goes and gets a bag of sweet feed and doesnt even ask what percentage ,just gives it too her all the while laughing eyes

staring at her......asks her what else she needs..... probably with fear ...she needs laying pellets for her daughters new meat birds.... no problem there, she is relieved he asked NO questions about that feed........she leaves......humiliated and puzzled as to why that was so funny...... gets home..feeds the dang brown,2 eared,4 legged, 1/4 horse

She goes into the chicken cage and spreads out the laying pellets........ goes in the house and tries to figure out the clerk, goes to check the chickens and they are EATING the laying pellets.

runs to hubby and says GOOD GRIEF, those stupid chickens are EATING the laying pellets..........
You all can probably figure out the rest of that conversation.........

You guys can do a puppet play against a Stimpy Story... the possibilities are endless and the laughter would be insane

When I was in my late 20s and in my pre-DW days, I had a girlfriend who had the same problem. She was 23, kinda short (4' 11") and petite, and people thought she was like 16 or 17. You should have seen the looks I would get, a grown man walking around with what folks thought was a teenager. I'm sure your husband can relate.

I playfully suggested she should have her birth date tattooed on her forehead. One night we got drunk and she almost did. She was a wild thing.

Stimp would have liked her.
