In fact, I am quite certain I could become a chicken hoarder very easily.
No, I mean it! I have bought approximately 80 chicks/chickens in the past two years.
Unfortunately for me, most turned out to be suicidal.
Not so good for the chickens either!
A few chickens |
Kamikaze Squirrels
Anywhoo...my chickens have an enormous yard to run around in. But the grass is always greener, blah, blah, blah. You know. These suicidal chickens would sneak through a gap in the fence or fly over the fence, WITH THE MONKEYS.
Now, I bet you didn't know that monkeys love chickens. I am here to tell you that they do.
It is a very unpleasant experience for the wayward chicken.
Once I went looking for my favorite chicken, Taffy.
I found one foot and three feathers.
Nuff' said.
Today, I was on my laptop reading a few blogs. I use my computer while on my bed, where the monkeys often join me.
There was a chicken video on a blogger's post.
I clicked it.
First, happy chicken noises.
Second, a monkeys head pops up off the bed.
Third, I am surrounded by monkeys, CONVINCED THAT I AM HIDING A CHICKEN UNDER THE COVERS.
Fourthly? Fourth, monkeys commence to swarm and dig on me and around me looking for the CHICKEN THAT I HAVE SO OBVIOUSLY HIDDEN UNDER THE BED COVERS.
Now, you have to understand this all happened in less than thirty seconds. I'm laughing and trying to shove monkeys off me. I can't stop shoving the monkeys off of me lest they destroy my laptop. I CAN'T STOP THE VIDEO AND I CAN'T STOP LAUGHING.
Fortunately, this video was very short, or I might have died.
And that's how a Chicken Video nearly killed me.
DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME WITH 5 MONKEYS ON THE BED!!!!
Ps. The above video is not the original that I viewed. I am too traumatized by the experience to post the original.
Pss. I wholeheartedly endorse owning chickens. If you can get
the non-suicidal breeds.
I love hens also. I think they act a lot like people

I agree! It's like my very own personal soap opera story! The chickens and the monkeys are my entertainment. I gave up television years ago.
DeleteThis is too funny! Who knew monkeys liked to eat chickens. I think they needed to hear the song, "No more monkeys jumping on the bed."
