what a delightful song...you did it justice with your improvements !( the only thing you could have donne to improve the improvements was to add QUAIL into the mix !)

 

[Minniechickmama]

I could always do a part deux.

Actually, I could add Sebastabol geese, peafowl and any assortment of rare breeds too.

BTW I don't even own any of the ones I put in the song. Isn't that a hoot?

That is so cute! Thanks so much for sharing - I am going to be singing it now, and sharing it with my friends (whether they are chicken people or not).

 

[Minniechickmama]

Linda, it is obvious you are in denial. You are on here reading my silly Christmas Chicken carol.
Need I say more?

 

[Minniechickmama]

Just had to add to my repetoire!


Roosters crow
Are ya listening
In the coop
Where their scratching
They're singing their song
As hens cluck along
Crowing in a winter wonderland

In the meadow we can throw some corn seed
and the Crows will come and chow it down
Bald Eagles with come and circle 'round here
Until the Crows all mob and chase them around

Later on, they'll puff their feathers
To fight off
The cold weather
Dreaming of lawns
As the night lingers on
Crowing in the winter wonderland

Crowing in the winter
Snowing in the winter
Crowing in the winter
Won-der-land

 

[Minniechickmama]

Or how is this one?


Rudolph the Naked Neck Rooster
Had a very cozy scarf
And if you ever saw him
You would even say he crows
All of the other roosters
Used to laugh and peck his head
They never let poor Rudolph
Try to breed any of their hens.
Then one windy Autumn eve
Farmer came to say
Roosters who like to peck and fight
Go to freezer camp tonight
The how the hens all loved him
As they clucked around with glee
Rudolph the Naked Neck Rooster
Should change his name to Mr. Lucky!

Haha I love the rudolph one

 

[geckomama]

............. MORE! please?

 

[Wisher1000]

God rest ye merry chicken friends
Let nothing you dismay.
For I will take good care of you
and fill the nests with hay.

To keep you all from winter's foul and
miserable wind today
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy,
brought you a toy.
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy!
