Did I bust everyone's ear drums with my singing?
You're being propositioned!!!
Brigidlily - that is way funny! I am cracking up completely! You are very creative!! Nobody ever sang a song about me and chickens before - I'm honored!!
Lazy Ladies - I think I'm a clonkey-bonkey donkey. :-) Very cute little ditty! That might stick in my head too!

I’m a loser
I’m a loser
Cause it’s not what it appeared to be
Of all the eggs I have won or have lost
There was one egg I should
Never have crossed.
It seemed an egg in a million, my friend
I should have known I
Would lose in the end.
I’m a loser
Cause I won an egg that seemed dear to me
I’m a loser,
Cause it’s not what it appeared to be
Although I lurk and I bid like a clown
Behind my id I am wearing a frown
My bids are falling like tears from the sky.
Is it for eggs or my account that I cry?
I’m a loser
Though I won an egg that seemed dear to me
I’m a loser
Cause it’s not what it appeared to be.
What have I done to deserve such a fate
I should have known it could not be that great.
And though it’s true, Penedesencas are brown,
But pictures are false, and will just let you down.
I’m a loser
Though I won the egg that was dear to me
I’m a loser
Cause it’s not what it appeared to be
Ps. thanks BL -that's one of my favorite songs!! Didn't get to post yesterday much cuz DH needed me...or so he thought!
o I'm all misty now. Scuse me I need to get a tissue.
My lastest tune sung to "Away in the Manger".........
Away in the nest box no chips for a bed
The little hen tries to lay down her small egg
The roosters are crowing the hen tries again
But try as she might no egg does she make.
I love the little red hen for all of her eggs
but if she don't lay them she'll be sealing her fate
I don't want to take her to auction today
but try as she might no egg does she lay.
We watch little hens as they go to new homes
it sad but necessary for the farm that I own
I start to rethink that i made a mistake
and I rescue my hen from her crate and her fate.
we create a special new bond as we drive on home
she clucks and I talk all about the day long
she pecks so nicely at my driving hand
and nuzzles my neck as to say thank you ma'am
I built her a new coop just outside my door
the little hen loves it and stays there some more
one morning I woke up and what did I find
my little red hen left me an egg behind.
So remember to cherish the chickens you have
and try and keep them happy and dry and all fed.
they will give you eggs if you treat them just right
and always remember to close them at night!
Hope you all like it.
Sheila
YIPPEE! The little red hen was saved! Luvly, simply luvly Sheila.

knsl, that got me all misty! And I loved the Beatles song. SO... here, with my apologies to the Beach Boys...
Little chicken, downy one
Made my shoes come all undone,
Did you peck me? Did you, little chick?
(little chick, my little downy chick)
I have watched you in the yard,
Making earthworms' lives so hard,
Did you peck me, did you, little chick?
(ooo ooo ooo...)
We can walk through grass together,
While your feathers grow.
In your tractor I would take you
Everywhere I go-o-o!
So I say from me to you
You will never be in stew!
Did you peck me? Did you, little chick?
[Picture first- ALL of us piled in with all our critters into one mobile]
Over the river and through the wood
To Da Gen'rul's house we go.
With llamas and pigeons
And goats in tow
And one elephant tangeri -ine!
Over the river and through the wood --
Oh, how the roosters crow!
What a glorious noise
All the cackles and joys
As over the ground we go.
Over the river and through the wood
To have a first-rate play.
Hear the bells ring,
Ding-a-ling-ling!
Hurrah for Thanksgiving Day!
Over the river and through the wood,
And bring your critters all!
Come gather 'round
Where us Nuts abound,
And we'll have a Thanksgiving Ball.
That's get singing Grow. I love thanksgiving time. The smell of turkey and dressing and family and friends coming together for meals. that is the way it is supposed to be. I challenge all of you to think of your family and friends and invite a new person to you thanksgiving meal. Maybe that person would have been celebrating alone and after all we are giving thanks for family and friends, right.
Sheila
I will be here with my DH all my family is gone now and i miss the smells and laughter.
Hope all have a happy thanksgiveing and yes invite someone i know how it is to want to be with family.

Is there a gathering????? Is my invite stuck at the border???? Should I be crushed and hurt???? Cousin nut I'm on an article deadline for the CHS so must think and type ponderous plantaceous thoughts. I have a Christmasy wassail in the works though.
You know it would be so cool if this could really happen we could all bring a favorite Thanksgiveing Dish. I love trying new things and we could sit around the table and get to know eachother and share all our storie's.
I can just hear all the laughter and the good conversation.........
Wouldn't it be wonderful Harmony! I sooo wish we all lived in the same hood.
