There is something rather benign about Chicken keepers I always think. 5 of the 6 course students attended my first "teaching" session this evening and they were just like my "first" group from last year!,in so much as they were cheerful, informed, slightly obsessed with animals and attentive. (yes I know.........sort of mini-mes in the making!)
The session went well, (even though I forgot the coffee) and the course fees will pay for this month vet's bills and two sacks of pig food!
As long as you're not teaching a class on chicken intercourse all will be just fine.

I just had to stop and say, I just love that your turkey is named Boris. Too funny!
ReplyDeleteI think it's a lovely name...named after the mayor of London Boris Johnson
ReplyDeleteThere is no finer animal in this world than a chicken. at least in my experience.
ReplyDeleteI think you need to teach an online class!
ReplyDeleteI don't know all that stuff.
Let's see... I know the beak, eye, comb, feet?
Boris is perfect. Is his hen named Natasha? ;-)
ReplyDeleteIf you were my poultry professor, I'd bring you a bag of feed in hopes I'd get a good grade.
ReplyDeleteWell, I had no idea that chickens had ear lobes...This is why I don't have chickens...When I do, I'm calling YOU John!
ReplyDeleteRandy, you are surprising me. But, this got my interest. Is there such a thing as chicken contraceptives?
ReplyDeleteChicken contraceptives? I was 4-H poultry resource leader for 5 years and got all kinds of strange phone calls. One was from a dog veterinarian whose office was surrounded by a creek. He asked if there was a contraceptive he could give the ducks so they didn't multiply quite so much. I suggested he could collect and dispose of half the eggs. Duh.
ReplyDeleteWith chickens it's even easier because many breeds of hens don't set on their own eggs.
Have fun with your class. Maybe I can find some of my old 4-H information to share with you.
Thanks for the chicken diagram lesson. Learned something new this evening. Coffe, yes, black gold. Love it!
ReplyDeletePoultry keepers? Loveliest of people :0)
ReplyDeleteAbstinence is always best. But if they used condoms, would it be sheep skin?
