SUSAN:
A few weekends back (yes, I am slacking with my posts),the chicks, Boomer, Austin and I hosted some of my best girl friends for the weekend. The girls had not reviewed the blog (can you believe it) and did not realize that we had 46 chickens to look after on their visit!
I was excited that they visited at week 3 because that's when the "sex talk" was scheduled to occur, and Beezer is 6 months pregnant ... who better to offer the sex talk to the chicks? She suggested music to set the mood for the chicks:
Wind beneath my Wings, Up Where we Belong, Fly Like an Eagle etc.
She also researched (on the internet because I couldn't find the chicken bible) how baby chicks are made & how eggs are produced. There are hens that NEVER are exposed to a rooster, and still produce eggs. That's feminism!
My "chicks" helped with the "farming" tasks, including all chicken duty. I think that we gave a new element of style to farming! What do you think?
Wait now, you LOST the chicken bible?!?!
ReplyDeleteChicks on Chickens - yes it was an insightful weekend.
ReplyDeleteNo! Nigel had actually taken the chicken bible with him on his trip ... so, I just did not have access to the chicken bible! Sorry for stressing you out!
