Should I buy eggs or wait it out?

[chickenlindz]

Calm, demure, and always sweet, you'd never know that underneath
there lurks a brutal, vicious beast.
Like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, booze brings out her darker side.

When down her gullet the ale doth glide, the others wisely run and hide.
For with just one sip, the beast appears, evoking all their deepest fears.
She races wildly, h@ll-bent for leather, madly plucking every feather.

Her fury spent, she needs a rest, and falls face first into a nest.
The others sigh, limp with relief that the episode was rather brief.
But reality will not match belief.

For hidden deep below the hay, several bottles secretly lay,
stashed away for another day.
Can chickens go to AA?

LOLLLLLLOOOLLLLLLOOOL! That's great!

Here they are. You can see the difference between the Buff Laced Polish and the Silkies by the "poofy" head!


Here is a Silkie and the Black Copper Maran

I want more chicks. must wait. must wait.... can't do the inside gig again... C'mon Spring!!!

7 Eggs today - and much warmer weather - supposed to keep getting nicer and be close to 70 on Saturday. Handyman came up to double check the furnace and introduce me to his sister... it was nice to show her all the work he did around here. it was really pleasant, I made pork chops and fried eggs with potatoes and introduced her to the flock that she had heard so much about. truthfully, she's terrified of chickens, and was amazed that none of my birds paid her any attention... she was afraid they would chase her. I brought out some grapes and she had fun tossing them out to the gang. she was cracking up about how much they love fluffy dirt baths, sunbathing and following me around and couldn't believe how easy it was to put them away... that they know which pen they live in... too funny.

It was all just a big misunderstanding.

It sure was. You ever hear of "beer can chicken"? The whole can of beer goes in the other end and you sit on the grill without your head until it is all gone. Sound exciting?

First chance I get I'm outta here. Heading to Key West. Chickens are allowed in the bars there. And the weather is always warm.

Roger if you are heading out, swing through NC and pick up Rogue on your way!!!! You can have a younger cockerel and raise him up the way you want him! I'm sure he will drink one with ya!

Haha! Sounds like you may have made another chicken convert out of your visitor. Can you imagine how she would have reacted to cute, fluffy chicks? She'd have been hooked for sure! I'm always surprised how many people have bird phobia. Blame Alfred Hitchcock!

As far as resisting the chick urge, just remember.....

....they grow up.

Mmmm... we've had that before. Yummy. Wonder if chicken would taste good in Guinness Stew. It's very good with Drunken Noodles!
