    Hey!  Wanna see a chicken lay an egg? It comes right out of its bum!  No?  Wanna see my bum?  No?  Wanna see me get bit by a chicken?  Well you're in the right place for 2 out of the 3.

     

    Would you like to save this stuff?

    We'll email you this post, so you can refer to it later.

     

    No chicken was harmed during the making of this video. I, however, was.

        Thanks Fred! Not a great shot ... I happened to catch it on my iPhone, but you get the gist of it. What kind of chickees do you have? OHOHOH! And you're in Halifax!!! I'm trying to figure out how cold tolerant these gals are gonna be. Is your coop insulated or heated? How cold does it get in there? Please don't tell me this is your first winter with them and you don't know 'cause I'll cry. A lot. Big bulbous tears. ~ karen

      I loved the talking bum! Did you know that if you had grabbed that brand new ooey gooey egg up and slipped it into an egg siz box, like, say a matchbox and let it sit there for a bit - you could turn it into a squareish egg?!

      I think I love my poultry too much...not the wrong way...just too much.

      OMG I grew up on a farm and did not know that there was only ONE exit for both poo & eggs (I must not have been paying attention during butchering). I actually didn't even believe you so I googled it. That would explain the need for egg washers....

      I have been pecked by a chicken before for going after her chicks. Not fun. If you are not careful they can peck a piece of skin off! It was fascinating to watch this. I thought it would be a slower process, but she popped that sucker right out. Pretty cool!

      Do you have a scar to show off? No?
      I spent a lot of time as a youngster with Granddad's chickens but they never showed me how it was done!
      Thank you cuddles but it's lucky your shells are tough!
      Maybe that's what happened to Walnut? Difficult birth?

      THAT does it... I'm trading in the three dogs for three chickens. The only productive thing THEY produce is pooh... and hair to sweep... and kissy faces... and snuggles... and ball fetching... rats - talked myself out of the chickens! GREAT flick!

      Totally appreciated this; reminded me of when as a child,my Nanna and I were cuddling in bed one morning and a chicken came in the bedroom, hopped on the bed and laid an egg right on our feet...we giggled the whole time but she was single minded and just got on with the job!

    My name is Karen Bertelsen and I was a television host. In Canada. Which means in terms of notoriety and wealth, I was somewhere on par with the manager of a Sunset Tan in Wisconsin.

    I quit television to start a blog with the goal that I could make my living through blogging and never have to host a television show again. And it’s worked out. I’m making a living blogging. If you’re curious, this is how I do that.

    So I’m doing this in reverse basically. I’m the only blogger who is trying to NOT get a TV show.
