um Cousin Nut may we please have pee stops? I won't make it all the way without one and an accident in my chariot would be pretty messy (not to mention probably tick off the emu). I would go to Kansas to visit Auntie Em AND it's very close to Dr. Doolittle's funny farm too.
Been busy Lately
I second the pee stops and the fill up stops to!!!! Oh will there be a good supply of chocolate????
I have a side car wren. It's for rescues and has a stash of chocolate, mandatory nurishment for the rescues. There was a few rescues in the Great Nevada Cricket War so it's been tested.
Great I can't go if I do not have my chocolate fix!!!!!!
Perhaps what I said was a little misleading....I meant no STOP stops....you know, shopping, hotels, Denny's. The chuckwagon will be loaded with sufficent amazing vittles for all. But we can hardly take 1000s of chickens to a restaurant or mall while we go get chicken fajitas and a cute little chicken bag etc. Pee stops (hereinafter referred to as p'stops) will be at the individual driver's discretion and should not be taken in gaggles or in any way affect the herd.
Why not I think it would be entertaining to take 1000+ chickens into a mall.
and the change rooms.
Oh yes!
well now that you mention it it would be entertaining...
I wonder if they would like to go to a sporting event?????? Say tennis, or maybe soccer???
Tennis I'd say. Can imagine my girls cussing the soccer ball as they run away...
Or Football, I can just see some of them trying to hatch that strange egg.
Are We there yet ???
I don't think we even started yet!!!!LOL
Chicken Rugby. When are we starting? I have to find Edwina and hook her up to the chariot. I put her out to graze on crickets in Nevada.
I think they would look better with tiny little foot ball helmets, and wing pads.
Well we need to plan our route, figure how many miles a chicken can go in a day without losing condition, and from there work on start times etc.
Here's the potential Great Chicken Drive route...
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=Devers+Tx&daddr=Sapello+NM&hl=en&geocode=&mra=ls&dirflg=h&sll=32.787275,-98.986816&sspn=6.906124,9.42627&ie=UTF8&ll=33.137551,-99.18457&spn=13.743436,18.852539&z=5
You know may be we need to be riding turtles.
I'm thinkin' loooong poles with crickets on the ends....15miles/day easy...
Two months, give or take...
Ok Maybe we need to enlarge my wagon to carry the lazy birds.
Trail of Feathers. We need to do it right. Wouldn't want to live in infamy. Not that way...
What a deliciously wonderful route. There will be roadhouses in Texas where we can quench our thirst with refreshing beverages and perhaps the chickens would like to be in a chicken rodeo? Do we have a trail chef yet? mi mi mimi
♪♪ Happy traaaaaaaails to yooooooooou
Until we meet on the Great Chicken Drive
Happy traaaaaaaaails to yoooooooou
Keep smilin' as we ride
Who cares about the cloud of feathers when we'ere together?
Just sing a song, and bring the sunny weather.
Happy traaaaaaaaails to yooooooo....♪♪
My Doggy is ready
Git along little doggie
git alooonggg!!!!
Well, given the southwestern, trailish nature of the venture, I think someone who can do biscuits and gravy should at least do breakfast. I don't mind doing supper... We may have to do something like a designated driver for when we make stops ---SOMEbody has to ride herd... who's driving the chickwagon? lol. real typo -I mean CHUCK!!
Well as so far only females have signed up "chick"wagon fits. I only bake cakes, cookies and brownie so I can only do desserts.
Wren can you do pethud pie? I would die for a real southern pethud pie sigh. We have them on the menus here but they're pretty awful although it's very nice of them to try IMHO. I volunteer for breakies. I'm an early riser so can get the cafe brewing. Hopefully the chickens will lay some fresh eggs for omelets and eggs bennie?
I have the p nuts will have to look up the recipes. Do you have a Villa Inn up there they have a great one.
I do pethud pies every year for DD. DH snuck into my stash this year and ate 3 gallons so I have no reserves...
Nope. I think it's just that the pethud nuts are not fresh. There are some deadly pie makers here but you need fresh ingredients to make the best ones; same as fruit pies.
I have plenty and I know where in Ga that I can stock up.
I owe Claire one of the gallons DH ate...
AHEM Cousin Nut-in-law DH, thou must NOT deplenish the pethud stash and jeopordize cousinly adventures. I'm SURE it's in the fine print of the marriage licence.
edit: O WOW Cousin Nut-in-law DH you scorfed down Dr. Doolittle's pethuds. You better be really nice to Cousin Nut so you can hide under her rock.

THREE GALLONS OF PETHUDS!!! THAT IS A LOT OF NUTS!!
I would not like to shell them--but I have shelled almost that many before
No kiddin. (Big nut burp from Cousin-in-law DH. I sure hope for his sake Dr. Doolittle doesn't find out about this faux paux :O
:o
Chagrined to say the least!! How does one stop such scarfing??!
mouse trap in the bin? Cruel and unusual?
you can't. Unless you put them under lock and key, and Hide the key---just hope you can later find the key. "I have been know to scarf the nuts too. they are still good even frozen. LOL
