My wonderful house, horse, hay and dog sitter, hereinafter referred to as "Sparky" from All Creature Care, recognized my yearning for chickens and, while feeding the horses in our absence, picked out the perfect place for some nesting boxes. She sent me the following:
Setting:
All Creature Care's backyard, nice sunny day
Beauty (Easter Egger on left) and
Salty (Barred Rock on right)
casually pondering imponderables...
Beauty: "Salty, I think we need a new home. Our mother (who does NOT live in a shoe) seems to have so many of us she doesn't know what to do."
Salty: "Hmpft! (dramatic pause) Beauty........think she'd eat us???" (Salty shoots stink eye at camera in same fashion of dramatic chipmunk from Youtube)
So, do you think Sparky's pulling my heartstrings.... or what?! And... I think she needs a blog of her own!
Ahh yes I see eggs in your future:)
ReplyDeleteThat is definitely the stink eye...
