'it's a rule now... if you've gone to visit chickens, shoes off in the back room..."

I'm the main culprit, tracking poop in the house... all my shoes, boots, sneakers... have poop in the treads

the coop and run are nice and clean, cuz it's all stuck to the bottom of my feet! I experimented with my gang, and went out barefooted a few weeks ago. they didn't notice my toes at all... i was kinda bummed

did you wear flip flops this summer ? I did..they looked at my toes...i dont remember if they ever pecked them..
Maybe you have smart chickens..they know those are your toes..
they will not peck at my hands but they will peck at them when I have my garden gloves on..LOL
Do you plan on going to the poultry show this Sunday at the Fair Grounds in Syracuse ? Oct 14- 9-4

... I don't own flip flops... i can't walk very well without a wide soled boot with ankle support, so walking barefoot is hard and flimsy shoes, especially flip flops make me look like the town drunk...

I want to go to the show, it's a bit of a drive to Syracuse, but it's not too far really, but, I'm on call for the PO on Sundays for the Express Route. During the summer, I get a few days off, but throughout the rest of the year... I usually work. Starting in March, sometimes February... the chicks start arriving, that is my all time fav! a car full of Peeping Fluffies! This year, I plan to spread the word about byc.com ~ maybe I'll meet fellow bycer's... which would be very cool

so......anyone who lives in the "Albany District" in NY (counties include but aren't limited to: Albany, Saratoga, Columbia, Renssaelear (sp), Schoharie, Schenedtedy...) who is planning on ordering chicks this Spring... the hatches from Friday, are shipped on Saturday and arrive on Sunday ~ which means you have a 50% chance of meeting lil' ole me... (there is one other carrier...) I was thinking of putting up an article here with the best tips on getting your orders without any delays... cuz if your order comes on Sunday... and we can't find you... (PO Box, or no phone #'s....) the chances of all the chicks surviving til Monday is slim...

so my little bite came in my room yesterday to lay her egg and i did not notice that she dropped a wet poop right in my shoe as she walked over it. so when i got ready to go out side i sliped on my shoe to ugh gross its worse then cat hair ball and i yelled " Chicken Nugget (her real name) you S--t in my shoe!" she looked at me stood up and turned her bac to me so i informed her chicken was on menu for dinner tonight.

''Craptastic''. After reaching in my coat pocket and finding fresh wet chicken poop. Was tending the neighbor's chickens, had to untangle one from baling twine, and somewhere in the process she made a direct deposit in my pocket.

When my Mom teaches her online class and I do school by myself (I'm homeschooled) sometimes I "accidentally" leave the front door open, and I see little chicken heads peak in!!! Sometimes I just bring them in while holding them, or sometimes I sit in the doorway and they look in. I get cute pics.

the other day I was talking to my chickens in chicken language when my mom walks up
mom: "are you actually talking to your chickens?!"
me: "yeah why not?"
mom: "because they're just chickens, its not like they understand you"
me: "but if i'm speaking chicken they understand"
mom: rolls her eyes and walks away
those who do not care for chickens will never understand
