3. Do the chickens have large talons?

[skygazer]

5. Leave the room

Unless it's my room. In that case, remove the chickens.

[yellowdogintexas]

27. right there with you. Sharing a room with chickens is not on my list of things

I want to do. Unless of course it is a box of Popeye's extra spicy

[east texas lib]

6. Scratch at the ground, peck a little and cluck occasionally

Just try to fit in, 'ya know?;-)

13. Do you think I'd be able to sneak out without them noticing?

[east texas lib]

21. Sure, as long as you don't have any large grasshoppers in your beak at the time.

15. Say a bunch - you know, the kinds with beaks and feathers and stuff

That look in their eye like they want to peck your brains right out of your eye...

[flvegan]

22. Inspired by your chickens, I bring you a tale of turkeys

We raised turkeys one year. They were a riot to watch. Turkeys are reputed to be pretty dumb and they don't do a lot to dispel that notion.

If you throw a piece of lettuce into a pen full of turkeys, one turkey will pick it up and run. It doesn't matter if there's a pile of food in there, all the other turkeys will race after the first frantic to get whatever he has. When he drops it, another will grab it and the chase will continue. We called it, "Turkey Tag."

Interesting sidenote - we noticed the same phenomenon in action when someone who was known to have smokable herbals appeared at a gathering and then moved off to another room. The entire room would chase that person, leading to the local party-goer's catchphrase of "Turkey Tag" as a code for "let's go get high in the other room."

[Redstone]

30. Oh, God. We had chickens when I was a kid, and I absolutley HATED the fucking things.

My father, not being the most studious guy around, built a fence around the chicken coop that was about six inches lower than the height that chickens could fly. So they got out frequently, and when they did, they ALWAYS went straight for the blackberry patch, into which we kids had to crawl and get lacerated to catch them.

And of course I was the one, as the oldest boy, who had go to feed the manky bastards at the crack of dawn each day, giving them the opportunity to peck the bejeesus out of my lower legs, trying to get to the feed bucket.

In Vermont.

In the winter.

Until the day I went out to feed them at 6 AM, and twenty below zero. I was eight years old at the time, but I'll never forget the moment when I walked back from the chicken coop, into the kitchen, and announced to my mother with the biggest grin I've probably ever had on my face: "Hey, Ma! The chickens are frozen! They're all DEAD!"

Maybe that's why I like to eat chicken so much to this day, you think?

[moriah]

31. I've seen that phenomenon....

The latter phenomenon, I mean.

[Mutley]

23. Find a fork?

:P

[Skittles]

24. rearrange the pecking order by becoming HEAD CHICK

and KICKING CHICKEN ASS - yes INDEED

[femmocrat]

25. The Chicken Dance nt

[Deja Q]

26. A lot of choking?

I mean, I am a geek and all that...

:yoiks:

[rug]

28. Reach for the corn flakes.

[Mojambo]

29. Curl up into the fetal position and begin sobbing gently.

I have a rather significant phobia regarding chickens.

[moriah]

32. I have a flashback of 100 chickens accosting me on the way to the outhouse.

Never mix Tyson genes into a banty flock.

We had small chickens and large chickens, white chickens and dark chickens, chickens that would puff up and chickens that wouldn't....

And pound for pound more chicken flesh on the mountain than human. Every morning they would accost you on the way to the outhouse, wanting their corn.

[Taverner]

37. I got a chicken peck once when I was a small child

I was crying all the way home because I thought this meant I was going to get chicken pox

35. Keep the oil at a consistent 375 degrees and fry in small batches

Otherwise it can come out greasy. When you take out the first batch wait for the oil to get back up to 375 before putting the second batch in.

If your room is "filled" with chickens, I'm guessing that you're gonna have a lot of batches.

:toast:

[Fire Walk With Me]

36. By "filled" do you mean, running around on the floor, or stuffed to the ceiling?

[Rabrrrrrr]

38. Collapse into a fetal ball and weep uncontrollably, like I do after sex

[Taverner]

39. Funny, you do that after sex, myself before

[libodem]

40. For god's sake

watch where you step!!!
