Buff Orpingtons
fluffy butts of happiness
golden eggs all warm

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
I look at my shoe -
it has chicken poo.

Rooster, a rooster, he crows at the door
Rooster, a rooster, he poos on the floor
He attacks the poor kid
Rooster, oh rooster,
He isn't crowing no more.

Poor rooster, lol.

Poetry critics will notice my choppy meter, but it says what was in my heart

The Nesting Box Lament


You used to lay in a dresser drawer
In the hay or on the floor
Till spacious nesting boxes we made
And for the wood we dearly paid
Not to small and not to tall
And for the general comfort all
We put them in your coop
Carefully you exanimate
And you still procrastinate
We lined them soft with sweet hay
And yet you still refuse to lay!
With fine woodchips they were lined
And all you did was poop inside.
Oh, what more do you want??
So we took out the dresser drawer
But eggs appear now on the floor
The nests must have some dread untold
Because you refuse lay your eggs of gold
Your turned up beaks and evil stares
Indicate your dislike for the nesting squares
Hens When will you lay inside??
I’ve coaxed, tricked and shoved you in
Every morn I hear the egg song din
I hope the eggs inside you lay
I go out to see them full, but nay!
They are on the dirty floor
Right beside the big barn door
I know your trying to mock
The humans that built that nesting box!
I know I’m going to loose my mind
I don’t find at least ONE inside
To give me a little hope
I know the victory shall be mine
When again on eggs I dine
Carefully in a nest is laid
All nestled in the sweet soft hay
Oh, yes that will be the day
When I can so proudly say
“Those stupid hens finally laid in the nesting boxes!!!”

Chip-churrup of chicks
Run to the incubator!
No chicks, just my cold.

"TREATS! TREATS!", cry the hens.
They run with lopsided gaits.
Alas, no yogurt.
