I've owned backyard chickens for 5 months now. Last week I finally got an egg. "An" being the operative word. Eggs aren't exactly flying out of their asses at this point.
Good thing eggs aren't the only thing chickens are good for.
They're also excellent dancers and inherently helpful. The chicken dance with real chickens.
Would you like to save this stuff?
We'll email you this post, so you can refer to it later.

Just had eye surgery. Watched chicken vid. Laughed so hard, I popped a stitch. Thanks, Karen; it was SO worth it!!!
Karen
Kate - I am hoping with all my heart that's true. If it is ... and I ever go on a talk show ... I'm gonna tell the story of the girl who popped a stitch. ~ karen

Hey Karen! I'm glad someone else enjoys chickens as much as we do. They provide entertainment and I thought we'd just get eggs. At this point we'd keep them if they didn't lay any eggs. It's so relaxing to just sit and watch and listen to them sometimes.
Linda
Ha ha thats so funny. Hop hop. Maybe we should hop once in a while.

Great video!
At the end of it the Ads By Google popped up with: "What really attracts men" and "How to BBQ chicken." Now I'm uncomfortable.
Karen
Marcy - Makes perfect sense to me. I'm not sure however, if it's dancing chickens or BBQ chicken that attracts men. Depends on the man I spose. ~ k!
Stacy Curran
Hilarious! Can't understand why you're not getting eggs though. My friend with chickens get several every day. Love your chicken's names

Karen
Stacy - I got a few eggs this week. Small and sporadic. At only 19 weeks they're actually laying quite early! ~ k

Ha! You have MAD videography skills!
Beth
Ah yes, the chicken dance. When I had chickens the little buggers danced all over my garden and ate my tomatoes. Good times.

A cinematographical masterpiece.

While shopping at my local farmers market this past Sat. a couple of chickens got loose. There was a small man with a big net trying to catch them. Chickens are very spry and tricky, just wondering if you have a net? You know... just in case.
Funny video. Made me laugh.
