Do you like chickens? I have some chicken stuff to say.
When my children were young, we lived on an 80 acre farm and raised chickens. Most of them were nice, but there was this rooster who my son had named Chanticleer. He was rescued from a farmer who didn’t like him.
Chanticleer did a great job keeping the chickens in order, but he was a little devil when it came to people.
No matter where you were on the farm, he’d protect his chickens by chasing you as far away from them as possible. Even if you weren’t near them.
This one morning, I was out to get the mail. Once retrieved, I headed back to the porch to go inside, but partway up the steps I heard that darn rooster closing in behind me. He was making a croaking kind of rooster noise and his feathers were all puffed out.
I knew I’d never beat him to the door which was just barely within reach, before he attacked. So, I turned to face the little demon.
He kept making that squawking noise, inching closer. I did the only thing I could. I threw my sandal at him and…
… I missed!
He lunged forward and bit part of my toenail off!
I don’t think I’d ever cussed before that moment. My son heard me and renamed Chanticleer.
He called him, “Cuss.”
Happy timezones, good friends! I have more barnyard mishaps, but this is all I have in me for now. lol

That’s a great story! And I love the “chicken tenders” meme. I don’t have anything against chickens. I like the eggs they provide, for sure. I’ve never owned any, but my next door neighbors have some, or at least they used to.
Thank you, Jeff. 😀 Our neighbor had chickens, too, and they would wander into our yard, driving the cats crazy. LOL
That story is why the best place to love a chicken is on the grill. 🤡
Every time somebody talks about chickens though, my mind immediately goes to Edd from Ed, Edd & Eddy:

LOL That video is hilarious and so are you. 😀 The best to love a chicken is on the grill. LOLOL
I like chickens a lot. They are funny to me, as they look funny and act funny. My cousin raises those really exotic kind, and I think sells the eggs, which come in all colors, and he makes pets of them with names and all. 🙂
That’s so sweet. I think I’d like to do that one day. 🙂
I enjoyed your story. Reminded me of when I had chickens. Our rooster’s name was Oliver and he was the sweetest. We had a goose that would chase the kids and nip them on the butt. The farm was a wonderful place.
It sounds lovely, John. I loved the farm life, too. 🙂
Geese can be so nippy! And don’t get me started on swans. LOL
Ive got chickens, but the ones i bought this time are about as dumb as a box of rocks.
LOL Oh dear. 😀
I had let them out of the pen and they refused to get back in after about the 3rd time i let them out, and then decided to instead go out and lay down on the highway, i ended up being down 3 hens because of it.. smh.
Oh nooooooooo. The chickens tried to cross the road but stopped to sun themselves. :O
No wasnt sunning, decided they wanted to sleep on the highway instead of in thier coop cause of the street lights. I was having issues catching them to put them up cause i had twisted my ankle earlier that day
Oh, yes, I see. Well I’m sorry you lost chickens that way.
It is what it is i guess. Ita the down side of living next to a very busy road with a chicken breed that isnt all that smart.
Yes, I reckon so.
I do like chickens, Kymber. My sis has four which she named after characters in my books. They are egg-laying machines!
YAY for chickens! 🙂 I think that’s neat that she named them after your characters. How nice!
