We live in a small ...Oh, not all chickens are dumb. We live in a small town where chickens are protected and run wild. One mother abandoned her chick, and he grew up in our tree. We called him Er-er, because when he went through his adolescence, he had a good deal of trouble learning to crow. Er-er would wonder the neighborhood once he got older, but he brought his hens to us to show off. Talking about showing off, at times he would preen his feathers for me. And he always knew where to get breakfast! If he saw our car, he would run alongside it, and I worried about him getting hit, but he did not. Some mornings he was late in arriving for breakfast, and I would see him on a nearby street as I headed to work. I would yell at the car window, "Er-er, go home and get breakfast!" He would look up, see me (and it really seemed like he recognized me), and would take off running for our house. I would call my husband and tell him to get the food out fast because Er-er was on his way!Elizabeth Mahlouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00334700057953625321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1462615883332730564.post-6817284862973403762009-07-29T23:50:54.641-05:002009-07-29T23:50:54.641-05:00This is all so much more vivid in my mind since vi...This is all so much more vivid in my mind since visiting you!

I thought they only did that at the crack of dawn? We had chickens a few years ago, but we could never get them to produce eggs (I think we must have been missing a rooster now that I know better) and my husband didn't enjoy the "harvesting" process of our chickens, although they were quite tasty. I'd like to get them again, now that I know more what to do.Theresa Cyrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13036207009917589398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1462615883332730564.post-68660661237511313722009-07-26T22:20:34.638-05:002009-07-26T22:20:34.638-05:00haha..
