My youngest son use to sit and read with the snake curled up in and around his hand. They both seemed to enjoy it, who knew ?<br />The book is a quick and easy read. Sometimes you read a book at a time in your life when you "Need" it or it speaks to you.... this one made me laugh at a bad time in my life.angryparsniphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17236094827257446781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2184571205434660863.post-58680412170599049162010-08-30T08:08:34.623-07:002010-08-30T08:08:34.623-07:00Elisabeth...

I laughed and said here is a person who has lived with chicken !<br />I think that is why I would (especially in Coyote country) keep them in a penned off yard.<br /> <br /><br />Pat...<br />I would never at this time in my life get anything with that much work.<br />Just keeping up with "The Boys" is hard enough, unless I lived on a farm like Weaver.<br /><br />Anna...<br />I have heard roosters are a huge pain ! Too loud for me. <br /><br />Eryl...<br />I also know more about chickens than I ever thought I would.<br />The book was read at a time when I was on a parallel life run as the author. Her "book life" was more fun that mine but I got to laugh at our shared predicament. Chickens or Scotties about the same. <br />It is a small book, easy light reading not "War and Peace" but I liked it. <br />The vending machine line is perfect... I am still trying to figure how to work that statement into my repertoire.angryparsniphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17236094827257446781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2184571205434660863.post-58140243561606142422010-08-30T07:56:35.270-07:002010-08-30T07:56:35.270-07:00Interesting post.

In Australia we call chickens, chooks. We too love our chickens. <br /><br />In primary school my youngest daughter once took home the chicken that had been hatched in her class. It grew exponentially, a kilo a day until my husband's sister who raises chickens on a farm remarked that the breed of chicken the class had hatched inadvertently had been one genetically mortified to eat non-stop in order to get fat for the market. <br /><br />This poor chook, grew so fast that soon it could not stand on its feet. <br /><br />It's times like this I hate human engineering.<br /><br />My sister took the chook to her farm - a better home we convinced our then six year old daughter - and dealt with it humanely.Elisabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04015624747225433940noreply@blogger.com
