Finally, a qualification…!

No, no…that’s not my rooster. It’s the header photo from a course I’m taking.

That’s right, y’all — I’m taking a course in Advanced Chickenology from the la-de-da University of Edinburgh. They came mucho recommendo from one of the chicken forums I follow. At last, the prestigious credentials I’ve always craved!

Actually, it’s worth following the link. There are a number of online courses on offer for not a lot of money, and I gather you can audit a lot of them for free if you don’t care about grades or a certificate.

But I gotta run. I brought a bunch of work home and I’m all behind schedule AND IT’S BATH NIGHT!

A bath sounds good. I think I will take one as soon as my IKEA fluffy white bathrobe is out of the wash.

A steal for twenty bucks.

oooo! Advanced Chickenology! Here is something you can share with Professor Sandilands. Her little photo suggests she wasn’t around in 1946. Enjoy your soak!

(To be honest, I wasn’t around in 1946 either. I arrived three years later.)

Very cool. I look forward to future posting about your course work.

Have you combined the flocks yet?

No, we’ve had a weird cold snap here, so I haven’t even let the babies sleep outside yet. By day, they have an enclosed run on the grass (with a pet carrier to retreat to in case of menace) and by night, I’m still bringing them in to sleep in a cardboard box. They’re way too big for it, but not big enough for 34 degree nights.

Well, poo. They don’t call it Advanced Chickenology.

What will you be a “Doctor Of” when you get your certificate? Shame it’s not Dr. of Advanced Chickenology. That would be a hoot.

I don’t know much about chicken behavior, but that rooster in the picture looks like he is about to put the spurs to the photographer.

Chickens have the WORST resting bitchfaces in the animal kingdom (though weasels have it pretty bad).

(oooo! you have a website?)


Beware: more than one link in a comment is apt to earn you a trip to the spam filter, where you will remain -- cold, frightened and alone -- until I remember to clean the trap. But, hey, without Akismet, we'd be up to our asses in...well, ass porn, mostly.
