Ever seen one?......................
“I’ve never seen a purple cow,
I never hope to see one.
But I can tell you one thing now,
I’d rather see than be one!”
(More Ogden Nash, I think?)
That chicken is still alive? From 1995?
My weirdest chicken experience? I bought a dozen White Leghorns (for a song!) from a guy that was closing his chicken sheds. I met him half way and the chickens were in a dog carrier that he let me keep.
When I released the hens into the pasture yard, then stayed right up close to one another and circled around like they were a school of fish! They had NEVER been able to be free, before! It was heartbreaking in a way, but once they figured out that they were no longer in a cage since birth with all of their closest friends, they ended up being my Happiest Chickens Ever. EVER. :)
My own free-range heart will always raise free-range chickens. :)
