- Four Weedings And A Funeral

I am sure that by now you know how much I love my chickens. You have to have figured out by now that my favorite is Babs. She just amazes me....she is so non-chicken-like. Lately when her henhouse pals are out free ranging in the woods,...

Do you remember Babs? She is one of my fancy Polish crested chickens that I started from chicks last May. Babs was low chicken on the totem pole. Invariably, I would find her hiding in the henhouse...avoiding contact with all her fellow...

I won't bore you by telling this whole tale from the beginning. But I will summarize for those of you who are new to my blog. This past summer I ordered 25 fancy chicks. I also ordered a very colorful rooster chick (enter Hank)....

Did you know that scientists have analyzed the DNA found in the skeletal remains of the Tyrannosaurus Rex and found that the modern day animal that has the most similar DNA is the chicken?? It's true! And after this weekend, Hubbs will...

Missing
Have you seen this chicken?
Babs McCluck was last seen heading out of the
henhouse around 3 PM the other afternoon.
It was an afternoon like any other.
She pecked around in the grass,
explored the edge of the wood...
and then she was gone...
without a trace.
AWOL...she never returned to the henhouse that night.
Although I am writing this with a touch of humor,
you must understand that I am truly saddened.
Babs was my favorite chicken...
ever.
She wasn't really a chicken,
but a kindred spirit in the body of a bird.
We had a connection.
We talked, we cackled, we bonded.
No more.
Babs is gone.
The henhouse will never be the same.

On another note,
let's discuss Hank.
Hank the "*#@**!!"
Yesterday morning I had to sequester Hank.
In the guinea pen.
He is a menace...
a flogging menace.
a flogging menace.
I am scared silly.
See that menacing look in his eye?
It's the stuff of nightmares.
See that menacing look in his eye?
It's the stuff of nightmares.
Hubbs says no chicken soup for Hank.
He wants to try rehabilitation...
behavior modification.
Bad behavior will have consequences...
negative reinforcement.
Enter.......
the Super Soaker!
Look out Hank....it's war!
