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

hahahahaha! Funneeeee
Karen
Thanks Michelle! Yup. That's my entertainment all day. The clunk of a chicken's egg dropping to the bottom of a nesting box. Well ... that and the Adele CD. ~ karen
Rebecca
Karen! This was hilarious and very very cool. Thank you.
Nicole
All I can say is: Ouch!! And they do that every day?
Karen
6 out of 7 days a week, Nicole. ~ karen

The funniest part was the heavy "CLUNK" as the egg hit the nest. Never thought it had such a hard landing!
Jules
HA! that was great..oddly makes me not want to eat eggs this morning..but hilarious none the less!
Phyllis
That was just downright great! Thanks!
Karen
You're welcome Phyllis! ~ karen
Mandy
Haha this was mesmerizing in a very creepy way. I'm glad cuddles was cooperative!!
my honest answer
I can't believe how you manage to get these shots! Did you have to stand at the backside of a chicken, filming for hours, or do they lay pretty much on a schedule? Or, even better, have you trained them to lay on demand?!

Karen I feel compelled to tell you the same thing my mother told me the first time I experienced a Walnut-style chicken assault--
Me-- I am so not doing this anymore, get Bubba to do it because that thing bit me!
Momma-- Don't be stupid. Dogs bite. Sharks bite. Chickens peck. They don't have teeth. It didn't hurt you, it just surprised you. So don't be afraid of the hens.
Me-- No. It didn't just surprise me, it hurt. See the red welt?
Momma-- Go get the #$%@ eggs Susan.
Ahh, just one of my many fond memories of growing up on a farm.
Karen
Susan - Hah! Yup. I'm with ya. Chickens bite. :) ~ karen
Ashley Williams
Omg. This just made my DAY. I've been following you and your "children" for a while and you're awesome. I need a chick if only for the pure pleasure of watching them hatch eggs!
Rebecca
Okay, must know... They don't actually come from their bums do they? Don't chickens have vaginas? Isn't that the logical place for an egg to make its exit? Am I a total idiot?
Karen
Rebecca - It all comes out the one hole. The vent. ~ karen

And just showing off the benefits of a Classical education, an chicken's bum is a cloaca, Latin for 'drain'. I thought this entry could do with a bit of classical.

Where are you heading with this Karen? A dark place...
Marti
Whoa! I'm with Pati: grew up on farm (where I learned to make tree skirts and develop websites, right?) and NEVER saw anything like this before!
Unfortunately, I have seen the pecking thing. Pecking, not biting, NON-farm girl. Hurts, don't it? Yeppers. Sorry about that.
KiwiKat
Apart from a Rule 34 comment about the possible future requests for video, should the final phrase not be, perhaps, bock, bock, buttock, given the vantage point? Love Cuddles talking butt, by the way!
Tammy
You NEVER cease to amaze me with your imagination and humor! You crack me up!
Pati
Oh, there will BE demand ! It's inevitable...LOL!
Caitlyn Williams
Can you tell a difference in taste of your different chickens eggs (pretty sure that sentence was not grammatically correct)? Are Cuddles better tasting than Walnuts?
Karen
Caitlyn - Nope. They all taste the same. Probably because they're all fed the same stuff. Although I'm often looking for a fight after eating one of Walnuts, and kind of laid back and lookin' for a hug after eating one of Cuddles' eggs. Go figure. ~ karen!
itchbay
I think this is totally awesome. The Boy, on the other hand, who was standing behind me while I watched this, just shook his head and walked away.
Pati
Karen, is there NOTHING you won't do ?? You never know whether or not there are laws against invading a chicken's privacy! I was raised on a farm my whole life and never had THIS "vantage" point ! ROTFLOL !
Karen
Pati - I took care to not make it too "graphic". I'm not sure why. It's very unlike me. So if there's demand, we'll get a good, close up shot. Possibly with help from my Interpal Jesse at http://www.homemadecrackers.blogspot.com . ~ karen!
