Violet: number three and climbing
And then there’s Violet, who is tiny and fearless. I think she’ll always be small (contrast to big, shy Vita).
Voted the Chicken Most Likely To Fly Onto My Head and Tug Painfully at the Delicate Hairs at the Base of My Neck Several Times a Day, Violet is the only chicken that seems to like being picked up and carried. Or riding about on my shoulder (no luck teaching her to say “pieces of eight” – so far).
Though she’ll squeak and run when chased, I’ve seen her pluck treats right out of the boss chicken’s beak.
We’ve taken to calling her “Violence” and reminding her that she doesn’t solve anything and she’s not the answer.
But who are we kidding? That cheeky little runt will be Numero Uno chicken some day.

Remember Scuba kinky is using a feather during sex.
Perverted is using the whole chicken.

@Spad13: I always thought it was:
– Sensuous: To use a feather during foreplay & sex
– Kinky: To use a feather duster during foreplay & sex
– Perverted: To use the whole damned bird during foreplay & sex
@Stoaty: The chooks are lovely, thanks for the posts & pics! 🙂

There’s so many metaphors in English that are ‘dead’—we use em without thinking about what they mean. It’s cool to read about ‘pecking order’ as a real thing.

Scuba sez:
What if you use a Peacock?
Sometime back a local man was arrested at the large park nearby for using peahens. The wacky Marxist city of Portland, Oregon …
Never did figure out why they arrested him. It is a “sanctuary city,” after all.

I honestly believe that this is the first time I encountered a case of “reverse falconry” here.
The mind reels.

(no luck teaching her to say “pieces of eight” – so far).
Start ‘er off slow – getting her into “Arr-r-r” from “Aww-w-w” would be an easy first step, maybe…
You can look in that close-set beady eye (do chooks have any other kind of eyes?…) and just tell – Violet’s got a little bit of “junk-yard dog” in ‘er.
“Dun’t mess me aboot, jack, I’ll peck ya a new one, fer sure…”

Maybe you could post Stoaty’s Chick pic of the day, everyday?
I like your chickens alot. I wish I could have some.
Took a look at some farmland while we were up in Saskatchewan, might just buy it.
