I’m Not Chicken, But my Kitchen Used to Be!
ROFLOL!!!!
The post today is a quick one and mainly written to prove to friend Lori K. that, at one time, I DID, indeed, have chickens in my kitchen!
She went with someone recently to pick up a crate of the little peepers and I told her I remembered when I gave my oldest daughter permission to bring home all the chicks (from the school’s science project) that no one else took home. I think they had a dozen eggs and only 7 hatched. We ended up with FOUR of the darling yellow, fluffy things.
My first experience with chickens!
I had NO CLUE they would go through an awkward, ugly stage with long necks that had no feathers; nor did I know, those soft yellow fluffy feathers would turn to white, stiffer feathers. What a dummy! And, yes, Lori, the smell of chicken potty rates right up there with the “gag” reflex stuff – YUCK!
I was going through boxes of junk today and found these old photos. The last pictures I took of the chicks, because soon after this “photo shoot” they were no longer considered “cute” by me!
Proof of my chicken kitchen:
Not many of you know that we had a parakeet named Joshua. He named himself “Joshie-bird” and was extremely smart, had a good vocabulary, AND lived to be a little over 12 years old. He loved playing with the chickens – chasing them AND being chased!
In this picture I think they left “Joshie-bird” behind while they formed a chicken conga line!Just another one of those rare tidbits of information about me, and my crazy life, that no one knows about!
Be Blessed ~

Were you a city girl? I grew up in the country and so I thought everyone knows all about chicks.
That is so funny!!!! I really miss you, friend! I had a little time while my daughter is napping this afternoon, so I could come by and see you. Pray all is well with your family! HUGS!
Fun tidbit!
Awww I love little chicks

That’s hilarious! And you’re not kidding about the chicken poop!! Blech!!
Awwww…..they are sooo cute! Amber said that theirs have already lost the fluff and are growing the feathers. Teenagers, going through an awkward growth spurt!
well at least you can say you had chickens in your kitchen:)
now I must say i have never had chickens in my house at all……I feel left out!!! Looks like Fun!!
I have been away for a while, but have been catching up here – and want you too know that I am thinking of you and praying for healing. You sound like you are doing amazingly well! Hope you have a great day! Mj
