AWESOME points about how we should sometimes stop and look to our chickens for guidance 🙂 I especially love the one about bedtime– I don't think I've ever seen anyone (human or animal!) who keeps a stricter bedtime schedule! Haha!
p.s. My girls LOVED the chicken oatmeal– I think it helped them warm up a little, and luckily it's warmed up a whole lot here so they've been a bit more comfortable, which makes me feel so much more at ease 🙂 Have a great day!
I'm not sure about "chickens don't gossip" My chickens NEVER EVER STOP TALKING. What on earth are they talking about all day? Some of it is gossip I think. As a matter of face, I'm certain that Nancy is gossiping about the other two when she runs to me with big stories when I go outside.
🙂
Thanks Angelica! So glad your girls enjoyed their oatmeal. Yes, we woke to a dusting of snow but now it is 50 degrees, I am headed out to clean the coop.
Oh Erin! I know they never stop talking! I guess they could be tattletales 🙂
Love this! I have likened my chickens to a bunch of really great toys that get scattered about on the ground each day and they put themselves back up on the shelf every night! They're the perfect "toy"!

What a great analogy Gennie! Thank you for sharing it with us 🙂
Very nice blog 🙂
Thank you Magda!
Hehe. Chickens are great. Funny post about them. :)))
So true! They are also so happy to see their humans too!
Thanks Krasna and the cake chick!
You are soo right about this but I must say I had a roo who loved watching TV…for some reason he loved when NCIS came on…lol…& there is nothing more heart warming when they all run up to you talking a mile a minute for the treats you bring them…..I do know that raising chickens has really changed my life for the good these last 4 years & they are something that will never be gone from me in my lifetime now…
Same Roo also loved to ride in my car…nothing funnier than seeing a big buff orpington in the passenger seat of a red toyota to make people smile.
Michele' I love being proved wrong, especially with a story like this! Thank for bringing a smile to my face today.
I have to agree, my friend owns chickens and they are delightful to watch. They always run around the yard together lol
Wisdom from our chicken friends indeed. I also love your photos, thank you for sharing 🙂
