   OF COURSE you look sane in that photo (daily farm pic). Really. I swear.

   Whether or not you were actually wearing pants in any of those pics is another matter! :eek:

   Yes, of course you look sane (well as sane as any of the rest of us…) Maybe you could Photoshop in the chickens? Or get a picture of you with the flock in the background eating some strategically placed chicken feed.

   Yes, they do have pointy things. My guy has two wounds from yesterday to prove it. He tried to get the eggs from under a chicken that was on the nest. She decided that she didn’t want anyone reaching under her skirt, and pecked him not once, but twice. I wouldn’t like a strange man reaching under my skirt either. Maybe he learned something. I doubt it. He was probably the kid that touched the stove when his mom told him it was hot.

   Who of us isn’t a little insane at times? I think you have more of a mischevious look on your face. Sorta like, guess what? And leave us waiting for the finale. xxoo

   I cracked up at that photo of Coco. DOGS. My puppy came home the same way, only she’s a brown lab you see, so we didn’t notice until she’d RUN THROUGH THE HOUSE.

    We can all see where Princess gets her good looks…and that hair! I WANT that hair. I’ve been striving for that hair!

    At any rate, you look totally sane with a naughty glint in your eye. It’s so nice to “meet” the real you!

    52 has good taste. The chickens do not. They have this primal “Don’t eat me!” thing going on…it’s wired into their chicken brains.

    Um, define sane?

    Believe it or not I have four chickens that fight over the opportunity to sit in my lap and be petted. But I have to sit and let them come to me. If I go to pick them up, they want no part of it. Sit out there once a day and feed them bread crumbs, I’ll bet yours will do the same.

    Oh my goodness! For the time I’ve been reading your blog, I’ve never seen your picture! Your daughter GREATLY resembles you! How cool to see!

    Don’t let your daugher read this – she’ll probably put on that teenage “air” and sass back – “No, I don’t” in the poutiest voice ever….

    Ah….we were all there once….

    lol lol lol THAT IS TOOO FUNNY! YEAH, Coco will love on ya, no matter what. They is why I LOVE pups so much – unconditional love! LOL They can get in some …can’t they! LOL

    Aren’t you soooo proud of your chickens, knowing they are alive due to YOU hatching them..or growing them..whatever it takes, to get them here. LOL

    How in the heck do you stay so skinny, with all the good things you make???? I know, all that hard planting, canning, farm work, huh?! Good pictures!

    Love your little tale of being ‘friendly’ with your chickens and, of course, Coco arriving at the end to save the situation…ha,ha.

    Gave me a ‘big’ smile.

    Those chickens are just, well, chicken! *G* Coco looks precious no matter what she’s been rolling in. Of course I can say that because I can’t “smell” her. *G*

    I love your blog. The great pictures come in handy to show my animal loving granddaughters. I showed them the Three billy goats before we visited a goat farm. I also told them the story of Three Billy Goats Gruff. Every goat there was white so they were a little disappointed after your great picture. One of them did want to sleep there with the babies.

    Chickens are actually pretty easy to catch, if you do it right. Especially if you have a chicken house to conveniently corner them in. Most people’s mistake is that they try to grab the whole chicken, or that they move too slow. Aim for the feet, and do it in one quick movement.

    I thought the pics were of your daughter. I had to read the comments to figure out it was you! You could be twins! I bet you hear that all the time. Anyway, thanks for sharing.

    Chickens! What do they know? They are bird brains. Any self respecting animal would love to sit on your lap and be photographed. Especially COCO! Mud, puppy, more mud! Cool!!!
