oh geeze. you have some trashy chickens. mine used to contemplate the meaning of life. from what I hear, the meaning of life is staring at things, pecking at shiny pieces of trash, and scratching around in the dirt. that was before the owls got them.

They're communist chickens, I'm pretty sure.

I think we've found the one example of where communism works. In communities of 10 chickens. Oh wait ... They're all dead. So maybe my chickens weren't an exception after all.

My ladies are still, strangely, very much alive. They're too old to eat and don't even give me any eggs. They're actually refugee chickens - they meandered over from the nearby farm and now live here.

One of these days, I'll formalize and edit the Chicken Tales and share the story of the refugee chickens in its entirety. That's a project that's way out in the schedule, however.

my little flock was way past their prime as well. I couldn't bring myself to cut their heads off because they were so good natured and everybody enjoyed their company so much. my wife would carry leftovers outside and yell "chickings!" and theyd come running over with their little bloomers on. we'll get some new ones in spring. not sorry at all to see the ducks go, though. absolute shit factories and just ill tempered. my neighbors got a goose. best guard dog you've ever seen. someone tried to steal him a while ago, the neighbor was pissed when they brought him back.

Chickens poop on everything.

I built them a chicken house and they hardly ever sleep in it. They get on top of it and poop on it.

hehe....yes, their repulsiveness is charming.
