The Yolk's on You!



So, you came back to see the photos from my visit to the coop, did you?

Well....the yolk's on you, my friend!

What do chicken families do on Saturday afternoon?
They go on peck-nics!

How do you know when a chicken is under arrest?
She's wearing hencuffs!

What do you get from a drunk chicken?
Scotch eggs!

It’s erotic if you’re using a feather.
It’s kinky if you’re using the whole chicken.

The turtle lays thousands of eggs without anyone knowing, but when the hen lays an egg, the entire neighborhood is informed.

How did the chicken end up in the soup pot?
The farmer's wife told her it was a chicken jacuzzi.

If you were born lucky, even your rooster will lay eggs.

Why does a rooster watch TV?
For Hentertainment!

Why did the rooster cross the road?
To Cockadoodle.

What do you call a rooster who wakes you up?
An Alarm Cluck!

How do you stop a rooster from crowing on Sunday?
Eat him on Saturday!
(I don't think Sid thought that was very funny, do you?)

Which side of a chicken has more feathers?
The Outside!

What do you get if you cross a hen with a dog?
Pooched eggs!
(Awww. Look at my poor molting hens. They look so scruffy and bedraggled.)


What did the chicken do when she saw a bucket of fried chicken?
She kicked the bucket!

What do you call a chicken with a disability?
Hendicapped!
(Poor Suzy with her nekked butt in the middle of winter! Molt is tough on a chicken. I can't help but imagine how embarassing it must be to have to run around half nekked once a year, whether you like it or not.)

How do chickens dance?
Chick to chick.
(Unless they're not seeing eye-to-eye, like Mr. and Mrs. Cotton. hehe!)

Why couldn't the chicken cross the road?
Because she was chicken!

Why did the chicken stop crossing the road?
She was getting tired of all the chicken jokes.

What do you call a joke book for chickens?
A Yolk Book!!

See! I told you, the yolk was on you! lol!


If you have chickens, are they in the middle of molt and looking as scruffy as mine? And are your hens still giving you eggs? We're currently only getting between 1-8 eggs a day from our 15 hens. Our girls aren't quite pulling their weight now, and the roosters never do. But at least they look a whole lot better than our scruffy hens! hehe


Come back soon when I share the photos from my visit with the horses!

Sid Vicious becomes a Rooster


Sid Vicious, our Golden-Laced Bearded Polish cockerel, now 17 weeks old, is becoming a full-fledged rooster. He started making crowing attempts a week ago much to our entire family's amusement. I could only take some video of him through the coop fence because whenever I walk in, he runs over for treats. He is such a character. (Let me know if the video works. I never have much luck with them. If it says 'no longer available, come back in a bit because it takes some time on You Tube to show up)
