I love chickens.
And since I am forbidden by my husband to adopt chickens, I must live vicariously through other chicken parents.
These particular chickens?
.
.
They’re living their best life.
.
.
Most excellent.
.
.
I’m in awe at the creativity.
👍
.
.
Because it wouldn’t be a fair without some chickens.
.
.
There were quite a few prize winning divas strutting their stuff.
.
.
But this all black rooster took the prize for bizarre.
.
.
The next blue ribbon winner?
.
.
Must have won for bad hair day.
.
.
How do these Polish even see?
.
.
There were fancy pigeons, but to be honest these made me sad.
.
.
They’ve clearly been bred for over exaggerated foot feathers and the poor things could hardly walk.
.
.
But the peacocks were lovely.
.
.
And this duck who decided no one could drink because he wanted a bath was funny.
.
.
We ended with a very curious goose who followed me all around the enclosure. I believe he was for sale and wanted to come home with us… but alas, my husband refused.
.
.
Have you ever felt like the sugar is judging your breakfast choices?
.
.
Yes I had the blueberry pancakes and bacon. No attitude necessary.
.
.
I thought I might cry.
I tried not to cry.
.
.
I cried.
Damn you Ed Sheeran.
.
.
If ever there was a perfectly named food for its targeted consumer, this is it.
.
.
Runaway chicken alerts.
.
.
I love my town.
❤️

We dropped by to see my husband’s brother the other day and that always mean peaking into his garage to see what antique vehicle is in the rotation.
.
.
The vintage police car is a favorite. Tres Mayberry.
.
.
This 1970 pick up is a new acquisition. All original, hardly any rust. The only thing he had to replace was the master cylinder. Brother is a sly one and manages to talk people into selling him things at well below fair market value.
While the boys were talking cars?
.
.
I visited the girls.
.
.
This momma was busy with a dozen chicks.
.
.
In local news…
.
.
Because it’s that time of year in Maine and we love our chickens.
.
.
The very definition of cute.
.
.
I’m a little disturbed at the “wet specimens” tag. Exactly how odd and unusual is this show?
.
.
Clearly today’s men are not interested in their emotional intelligence.
.
.
Now that’s an event worth attending.
.
.
Something popped up in my Facebook memories today that made me smile.. so I have to share.
11 years ago? A chicken came to visit.
.
.
This particular fowl was accompanied by our farming neighbor and his young son because he knows I love them and used to “chicken sit” his flock when they were away.
.
.
As you can see the bird made itself right at home.
.
.
Of course it found the dry cat food on the floor so I moved the bowl to the counter… which didn’t make a bit of difference. (Ugh. That old countertop. Glad that’s history)
.
.
Alternate snacks were offered and accepted.
.
.
Needless to say our 3 cats were locked in the bedroom for the duration of the chicken visit.
😉
.
.
First a few oddities I saw while grocery shopping.
.
.
Is the jerky still perky if it’s not turkey?
Is the turkey still perky if it’s not jerky?
Inquiring minds want to know.
.
.
Chocolate and wine, two things I enjoy… but mixed together at the “fine wine” price of $7.99?
Probably not.
And now? A trending story on my town’s Facebook page.
.
.
Technically he hasn’t crossed the road yet, but it’s only a matter of time.
.
.
Because new margarita recipes must be shared.
.
.
You can buy decorative logs on Wayfair… and I’ve just realized I can make a fortune selling the contents of our woodshed to idiots.
Score!
.
.
But if you do need them? You know who to thank…
.
.
I don’t need this dangling from my tree, but if you do? I’ll try not to judge.
.
.
I love me some chickens, but Santa rooster bowling shirt? Pass.
.
.
Though I admit this one does makes a statement.
.
.
Is this a thing? Have I missed yet another trend….
.
.
Saw this in Wal Mart but did not make the mistake of pressing the button.
Nope. Not me.
.
.
Being an animal lover, my eye is always drawn to stories and articles in which they feature.
.
.
My girlfriend caught Covid in the first wave. It was a really bad time for her but thankfully she didn’t need to be hospitalized. She is however suffering many long Covid effects. Brain fog, hair thinning and worst of all … loss of taste and smell. It’s been almost two years and still nothing. She says the only flavor that breaks through is salt. Can you imagine only tasting salt for two years? I’m crossing my fingers for the hamsters.
.
.
Shame I can’t talk the husband into it. He’s a pretty boy…
.
.
This made my heart smile. Every store/business should adopt a shelter dog!
.
.
A random chicken is loose in our town. I shall update the post if he struts by our house.
.
.
When you live in the country, the news is rarely exciting or dangerous. It is however filled with eggs.
.
.
That’s one busy chicken.
.
.
Try as I might, I can not convince my husband we need a cow. Even a sweet, well deserving pregnant cow who will save us money on milk.
😩
.
.
It seems like everyone’s chickens are busy.
Fresh and free. You can’t beat that.
