S is for Coop Chatter


S is for Stealth.   S is for sneaky.  S is for spy.
S is for Speckled Sussex
S is for side porch.
S is for eScape.


Who let the hens out ?

Who let them on the porch ?

 

 Who left the door open

So flock could critique what they saw?

 


Who brings the treats out ?

Who gets them first ?

 

Why do hens play coy and ignore the one they idolize, the Bringer of All Things Good ?


 

And act like the attention they receive is no big deal...

 

 But.....Every so often looking in the window to see what I am doing and telling the other hens every move I make.




And when I arrive to feed the herd, I get the same sort of look.... in a Bovine way.




It feels good to be so needed and wanted.... but I could sure use a few days off to pamper myself.

Any affordable, realistic ideas ?

    Too funny! I love how they all crowded around the door like that. It is good to feel needed and wanted, but some days I feel like all I do is feed people and animals!

    Maybe just take a stay-cation and do something you really enjoy. Let someone else take animal duties :)

    How funny! If they could only talk, right? I always feel pampered by having a mani/pedi. Not really expensive, and very therapeutic!

      I was going to suggest the same thing. I like to tie getting a haircut, pedicure, and chiropractic visit to the same day. A massage is pretty special too.

    Is it possible to hire someone one day a week in exchange for eggs. Daily chores on a farm can be exhaustive. Or hire some girl scouts or boy scouts who are looking to fulfill a merit badge.
