I just want to say that the chickens of the world are proud and happy that this thread has reached over 50 posts in a single day.

First time I cleaned out a coop, I assumed they think, "Ya know, chicken shit really does stink BIG time."

Its obvious that chickens think about:

1. Beans.

2. Healthy lifestyle alternatives.

Bert's chickens think "jeez, what crap crums. gimmee some cornbread crumbs at least."

9's chickens think "bomp? how does one make that sound?"

Janie's chickens think "hehehe. She still remembers that little pet bantam rooster allowed to run the neighborhood that literally picked on her when she was 2 and 3, and she is secretly terrified, we can sense it." Then they think, "Oh no! Revenge - run!!!!"

This talk of chickens reminded me of an English prof I had who found it quite interesting that people hear the same sounds differently.


"What Sounds Do Chickens Make In Other Languages Such as French and German?

A rooster's crow is so distinctive that there isn't much variation between "cock a doodle doo!" (English) and "ku ku ri ku!" (Hebrew), "ko ki ko ko!" (Japanese), and "ku ka rzhi ku!" (Russian).

However, language differences appear when you start talking chicks and hens.

Chicks say "twit twit" in Arabic, "pip pip" in Danish, "plep plep" in German, and "jiap jiap" in Thai.

While to English-speaking listeners hens "cluck cluck," the sound becomes "cot cot cot codet" in French, "gak-gak" in German, "gut gut gudak" in Turkish, "gaggalago" in Icelandic, and "pak pak pak" in Hebrew."

Eggs are going up, which is bad news for hens.

One morning I saw a chicken crossing Ocean Avenue in Brooklyn and realized that she was crossing the road to avoid being part of a Santorian rite. Life is good.

Respect for Chickens day



Fried Chicken day is the same time as International Kissing Day, and Take Your Webmaster to Lunch Day and Fiestas of San Fermin

- so why not take a chicken to lunch and kiss him/her, no bull?


And then, there is the World chicken festival in Kentucky, say no more about what that involves:

Am I seriously strange or strangely serious?
I'm focusing my thought-rays on being delerious
I've met the enemy, and I fear he is us
But the chicken is into corn porn and tick-picken
Not thinking about whether in her future she'll be finger-lickin'
And she's not afraid she won't get laid
There ain't no flappin'
Cuz it already happened.

She just hang around the shack 'till the farmer comes back
Singin buk, bu-buk bu-buk BUUUUUUUUK!

I lived on a farm when a lad. I had pet chicks now and then. But, I never gave them names. Maybe the name "little pecker" would have been fitting? But, a few of my boyhood friends may have been confused and answered, when I called the chick over, "come over here little pecker":):)

Each autumn our local community garden has its harvest fair, and they get several of us to provide the music for the occasion.

We are just part of the entertainment: they also play 'Chicken Bingo'. It involves placing three pet hens on a gridded bingo board; the first deposit on a stated cell wins the bettor something or another.

Clams are pretty good. Mussels may be even better. I just cooked up a whole pot of them earlier in the day, and they were lovely.

LOL... did not see the joke I was told long ago by a friend whose parents owned a chicken farm...

What's dumber than a chicken... two chickens.

That was before I started raising turkeys. Or sheep... ;)

I did have a nice little Cornish game hen that was a family pet and I'll have poultry again once I retire and can spend more time at the homestead.

As for roosters.... well, they'll rape anything slower than them... including drakes... lol   love in the barnyard is certainly eye opening.

A chicken rarely gets to think about retirement - or what it means to the species. Enjoying old age, and a good penion and the social security net is rarely an option to consider.
