I'm not counting any chickens.

Do not compute the totality of your poultry population until all the manifestations of incubation have been entirely completed.

I haven't checked, but I highly suspect that chickens evolved from an egg-laying ancestor, which would mean that there were, in fact, eggs before there were chickens. Genius.

I just love chickens.

Being born in a duck yard does not matter, if only you are hatched from a swan's egg.

I have four chickens. I have four laying hens. And I have 50 fruit trees. I make apricot and plum jam every summer. I brought Memphis to Malibu.

I've got four dogs, eight chickens, 10 sheep and six pigs.

Sticking feathers up your butt does not make you a chicken.

'You have chickens?' That's what nearly everyone asks next, after they find out about our family pets. They just need to make sure they heard me correctly. Perhaps it's because I don't come across to most as a rural-loving farm girl.
