The Hazards of Backyard Hens

For anyone out there thinking of raising back yard chickens... I thought I would share this with you...

Thats an honest, and hilarious appraisal.

On the other hand, my grandmother used to keep a pen full of fowl, and she never expanded from the collection of chicken and ducks that she had when I first met them all. That said, she was a soul dead harpy from the nether realms, so one would expect the ordinary decline into farmerhood to be curtailed by brimstone laced logic in her case.

Great video !

That woman is nuts!

Chickens - great. Eggs for breakfast - great.

WHAT ABOUT THE BLOODY BACON!

She needs some pigs! Lots of pigs!

Eggs without bacon!

Who eats some slimy cheese for breakfast. What is she, some new age nut job.

Bacon

P

She forgot the last line about standing ankle deep in manure wearing rubber boots telling your friends "I don't think it smells bad at all!"
Star for truth. I have some good friends that started raising chickens and you know the story now.

That was funny!
Unfortunately, true as well! LOL

Gotta get started on my coup this weekend!

Thanks, I needed a good laugh. Especially funny to me because I'm a city girl.

Can not thank you enough for sharing this OP... absolutely awesome! Haven't laughed so hard in quite a while.

We started keeping hens this year. Knew I'd be a sucker, I am for just about anything with fur, feathers or fins but my husband has it worse than I do. They really are a lot of fun.
