I keep seeing an ad for some contest that says, 'Show us a picture of you enjoying a drumstick" I think it is Purdue. IDK.
So I want to send in a picture of me (or a whole bunch of ppl!!) pretending to eat a live chicken's leg.
What do you think they would do? The contest holders, not the chickens.

Ha ha ha MC!!! that would be a riot! if you see it again, post the info cuz I CERTAINLY would send in a photo!!!!!
I just saw a Purdue ad saying "you know where your chicken comes from" (if you buy his...) cuz they are vegetarians(???) eating only corn, safflower (I think) and marigolds. all that yellow food... no wonder why the fat on purdue chickens is such a bright yellow... those poor babies don't even get a meal worm. maybe a shot of me holding the chicken while she enjoys a cricket drumstick...???

Look the chickies are doing the line dance ...My chickens do this when they want to get out ...They all line up in a row at the gate of the run ..& all walk one way ...then turn & all walk the other way ..Until they see me then the line breaks & they go every which way ..So Funny !

I don't have chickens yet, but I still am saying things related to them. I'm including my husband's reactions.

Me: "It says I have to look at their private bits and find a bump or no bump."
Hubs: "Sounds easy to me, isn't that what they do to human babies too?"

Me: "It's slimy and furry at the same time, gross." (while watching a chick hatch on YouTube)
Hubs: "She just coughed up a hairball it's not that big of a deal." (referring to the cat)

Me: "I need a nice wide pencil to mark the eggs with Xs and Os when they arrive."
Hubs: "What for??"
Me: "So I know when to turn them."
Hubs: "How is hugging and kissing them with a pencil going to help turn them?" --- nope, I'm not kidding, this conversation took place. It's because I always say "Xs and Os, love" (it's one of our things we do to say I love you). In this situation though...it was too much to bear and I laughed so hard I cried.

Me: "That's it, I'm not going to have a choice...I have to shoot them in the neck, apparently." (referring to giving them Merek's vaccines)
Hubs: "Dear, if the dogs are being that annoying just let them outside to do their business...no need to get overdramatic."

AND my MOST favorite of all of them. This one happened this morning:

Me: "I need to find that link that tells me how to sex a chick. I think they said you can do it with feathers."
Him: [jaw drops] "Have you lost your mind? Are you sure that spray paint said non toxic on it?" - and he was dead serious when he said it...he was quite concerned.
