Have I ever told the story about my pet chickens? I have had six. But the first one, she was a darling chicken. I loved her. Her name was Nugget. We couldn't eat chicken for years. And everytime we went to McDonalds my youngest would cry when he heard McNuggets. Anyway, Nugget started out as a chick who would sit on our laps and watch Jay Leno. yes, we had a room devoted to the pet chicken, because they shit all the time. We had to take most of the furniture out, and put plastic everywhere. When she was old enough, we took her out to Jonesburg. We built a hoosierific chicken pen, with lights and everything. We got her some buddies, reds named Spot and Stripe and a white named Colonel Sander. CS didn't make it too long - he would wander out into the woods and one day didn't come home. Nugget was the only one who would willingly come to people. When I was there she stayed by my side 24/7, sometimes even riding on my shoulder or head. (Yeah, I know it was gross. BUT I LOVED HER.) Her one true fault was walking across the Lexus. Chicken claws are sharp.... But the fox got in and killed Spot and Stripe. So Nugget refused to go back in the pen. No matter how hard we tried she would not. We called it the Pen of Death. She roosted in the evergreens for several months before the fox got her. It was so sad. I didn't eat chicken until I went to KC to see the folks and I couldn't resist the chicken and dumplings. MMMMM. I felt bad. But not that bad... The funny part of this story is that you don't usually think of people with chickens sitting on their laps watching Jay Leno as being Lexus owners. HA. That's funny n2.

The funny part of this story is that you don't usually think of people with chickens sitting on their laps watching Jay Leno as being Lexus owners. HA. That's funny n2. You'd think I was more like Larry the Cable Guy, no? It's funny what a redneck (ya'll call 'em Hoosiers) will do with a little bit of money.... buy a Lexus and some chickens....we had ducks, too. They died quickly. I don't know why. God, they were so sweet. We had one rooster, he was mean. But he was fantastic as a guard....rooster. He chased off everyone...LOL Worth it. I kept them in the bathroom here in Ballwin. The neighborhood kids would knock on the door around 4 or 5 in the afternoon, wanting to know if it was "duckie bathtime". Those ducks could swim. But you know the chickens could fly better. I always felt like I had failed as a duck mom. Apparently there is some kind of ordinance about farm animals not living in subdivisions. Fuck em. And yet even though I chase that fox off all the time, I don't have the heart to kill her. She was just doing what she had to do, what was instinctive. So ya'll put those horses away. There will be no foxhunt tonight... (I cried when my husband killed the racoon.)
