This chicken is not dead

[BlindLemonChicken]

I don't have a picture of this but a raccoon got into my run one night and some of my dumb chickens were sleeping out in it. He got hold of one and I heard the ruckus and came out to scare him off. One of my Ameracaunas was laying dead in the run and the raccoon wouldn't leave because he wanted to finish his meal. I finally scared him off, relocated the other chickens to a safe place and went to get a bag to put poor dead Weezy in. I put the bag around her and she sprang to life and started squawking and flapping and freaking the hell out. I nearly jumped out of my skin! She had actually been playing dead!

What a hilarious thread! I don't care how many times I see my 13 pound Buckeye rooster "die", it makes my heart skip every time!

Thank you. She is spoiled rotten. And you're right, she always looks like she's seen a ghost.

Tomorrow we are going to meet a shelter dog. We are just one of the families who have applied to adopt him, so wish us luck.
Of course if he loves someone else more, I'll be a little sad, but still very happy for him.

we were looking for a female as a friend for Brewster, but who could pass up this face.

In South Africa we have an Afrikaans saying, "Hou duim vas" which translated into English means "Holding thumbs". This saying has the same intention as "Keeping fingers crossed", so...
Ek hou duim vas!
Wishing you and Beasley luck.
