Ode to Chickens in the Kitchen

One little chick so cute and so mellow
Like a dear piece of heaven, only in yellow






Two baby chicks so soft and sweet
the only thing better than two chicks, is three!





Five little birds like a flock of love
peeping and cooing like a little lost dove




Ten fluffy butts all in a row
I’d show you something cuter, but what? I don’t know!




Fifteen tiny chickens growing so fast
The fluff and the peeping surely won’t last




Twenty-five birds just pooping and peeping
So smelly and rancid, my eyes they are weeping





Thirty-Two smelly crappers, just crapping and stinking!
Somebody tell me, WHAT WAS I THINKING!

Smiles from the (never thinks things through) farm,
Lisa

PS: Yes I know there are not 10 fluffy butts in that picture.  Have YOU ever tried to line up ten baby chickens to take a picture of their butts?  I didn't think so.

  1. After reading the title of this post, I was thinking
    there would be a chicken recipe at the end!
    Thankfully not.

  2. Ah. Just wait until you have goat kids in the kitchen. It will make you want to go back to those chicks. :)

  3. I laughed my butt off - I know what you're talking about! I'm planning on starting a batch in the incubator in Feb. I raised my last ones in the kitchen. Phew!

  5. You are so talented Lisa, you just crack me up. I had some little yellow chicks once (the key word is ONCE). They grew up to be stinky, pecking, food gobbling pains in the rear. Nevermore! Hugs, Kathleen
