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
Thank you so much for reading, liking, lurking, and commenting! You are important!

Hilarious story.😂
This brings back memories of a chicken being chased by 3 to 4 dogs.The chicken ran and fooled the dogs for at least 30 minutes.
Then it managed to reach the top of the wall, making it impossible for the dogs to get there.
At last, the dogs were tired after so much effort and left the place.
Thank you. 😀
Oh boy, that’s crazy! That poor chicken. And the dogs gave up. hahaha Hopefully, the chicken didn’t die from shock. lol
You’re welcome.🙂
That chicken was cool. It was teasing the dogs from the top.
Have a fantastic day.
That’s hilarious!! hahaha You have a fantastic day, too. 😀
oh no not part of your toenail! I can see that happening to me. My husband wants chickens so bad, I know I’m going to give in soon!
LOL I loved our chickens, but watch out for those roosters! lol
Right! LOL
I love chickens! My brother has a few and they’re quite funny indeed. No rooster, though. They used to have a chicken that was very social. She used to get into the house whenever they’d roam the yard. Unfortunately she died a while ago and everybody misses her.
Oh, yes, I bet they do. I can tell she was a favorite, and very special.
This makes me feel guilty for having Thanksgiving turkey… 🙂
LOL I hope you have a lovely Thanksgiving. 🙂
Thank you Kymber, have a wonderful day with your family!
Thank you. I can’t wait! 🙂
Hahaha! You poor thing! I’m not sure I’d like to have a rooster chasing me! I do like chickens though 😀
Chickens are great, it’s true. But watch out for those roosters named “Cuss!” LOL 😂
I love chickens 🥰🥰We kept chickens when I lived in Latvia – they have distinct personalities and are fun to watch. Their behaviours, such as dust-bathing and foraging, can be entertaining 🥰🥰
I thought they were entertaining, too. Except for Cuss, of course. 😀 They definitely have their own personalities.

🙋♂️🐈
It is snowing here, my friend. 🙂
☺️☀️🐱🐱🐔❄️
How nice. According to forecasts, the weekend is also expected here. I hope it snows 🙋♂️🙏🌸
I hope it does, too. The first snow is always the loveliest.🌺🌺
Yes ☃️❄️
That’s why my favorite chickens are in the meat case!
LMAO! Good thing I wasn’t taking a drink when I read that, or there’d be a mess. 😛
I got a million of ’em!
LOL Seems I’ll be laughing a lot. 😀
I like chickens and I feel sorry for them. I’m guessing Cuss was probably just like his dad. I mean you know what they say: like feather like son, right?
LOLOLOL You do make me laugh. 😀 Yes, I imagine you are right! 😀
We kept chickens when we lived in the cottage. They were funny cute little things and we had over 1200 eggs in the time we had them. Maggie refused to pee in the garden after one pecked her bum. Our neighbour rescued a rooster from ‘the pot’ as she thought it would be company for her peacock. The damn thing would start crowing at 3am and we voiced a complaint, to which she said that was what to expect when you lived in the country. We were about to complain to the council when it all went quiet and when we saw her we asked what had happened (thinking they’d put it in the pot after all). She told us she’d soon remembered why she never kept a cockerel because of the noise! I couldn’t resist and said that was to be expected living in the country.
LOLOLOL Your story is hilarious!
I’d never lived on a farm before that one, but I felt the same way. Why did Chanticleer have to start his racket before sunrise? LOL
Oh no! Toenail biting chicken!😆 Too funny, I’m wearing a shirt right now that has a picture of a chicken on it and says “Cluck Around And Find Out”.
LOL Thank you, Melissa. I’m cracking up at the shirt you were wearing. lol 😆
my son says chicken is king
to eat
my mother

to kill them for their dinner
they had a farm before i was born
and that headless chickens would
run for quite a long time
mebbe tmi
???????????
Not at all. 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
I never had swans. I had everything else though.
Swans will come out of the water to chase you down. lol It’s a bit frightening.
Glad I never had any.
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!
