Martha Stewart's Chickens

More of Martha's Chickens



I don't know if it is the decrease of carbs in my diet, but I have felt the urge to yap alot on my blog this week and it occurred to me that in all my ramblings I have never talked about one of my favorite subjects, chickens! Coincidentally while reading Martha Stewart's blog today she mentioned the website "My Pet Chicken" http://www.mypetchicken.com/default.aspx. You need to understand that I spend a good part of my day, not mentioning what part, researching all that it would take to own and care for chickens. The website "My Pet Chicken" provides everything anyone would ever need to know about chickens and they are the ones who just provided Martha Stewart with her newest chickens for her coop. You can read the post here http://www.themarthablog.com/2011/04/new-chicks-new-bees-and-more.html. I'm a little obsessed with Martha's chickens, they grace my background on my work computer and they make me smile everyday. If you want to laugh, Martha also is hosting a new series "Men Who Make Us Laugh" and in one episode Seth Myers from "Saturday Night Live" was visiting her home and it involves her chickens, it is very entertaining! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5JjwnogzSo&feature=player_embedded.

What I am trying to say is, how could you not love a chicken? I am on a mission to convince my brother-in-law John to let Pam get some so that I can live vicariously through them until I can get my own. They have a perfect area and chicken coop that was already there when they bought their lovely new home in Georgia. I have resorted to sending John a chicken fact most everyday and I can tell it is starting to make him think about the benefits of this lowly fowl. I think my mission will be complete soon. I can't explain it, but I smile when I think of chickens. Try not to smile when you think of them. See?
