March 7, 2013: Chicken Peepers

Good day all.  Went to the dentist yesterday and came away with sticker shock!  Lost a crown and need a root canal, plus a crown on that tooth.  Chickens do not have teeth and therefore do not have to contemplate how to pay for dental work.  Lucky Bums.

How else are chickens lucky you might ask.:
1.  Chickens do not pay taxes
2.  Chickens do not have to work except for laying eggs.
3.  Chickens do not have to diet.
4.  Chickens do what they want.
5.  Chickens can fly a little bit.
6.  Chickens can eat almost anything.
7.  Chickens do not have to go to school, study or take exams.
8.  Chickens do not get arrested for peeping in your windows. 

Number 8 comes to mind due to the chickens natural curiosity.   They are endlessly curious about the world around them.  Some of it is hunting for food, but most of it I think is just being busy bodies.

When we are outside they follow us around wanting to see what's what.
When we are indoors, they run from glass door to glass door trying to keep track of us.  Are they keeping a journal of our activities?  Are they spies sent to keep an eye on us? Maybe they are writing a book about humans.  After all I write about them in my blog, on Facebook and in  my Children's Books.

In any case Mabel is freaking me out by peeking in at me.  Does she not look like a chicken with a plan?
