This is Chuck or Chicken Lickin....WHATEVER!

In October we got some more chickens to add to the other 6 we have so we can get more eggs. Well, we got them as chicks and when they were big enough we put them outside in the chicken coop. These little chicks were so sneaky that they kept getting out of the coop. The kids would chase around the yard and fix the fence, but with in minutes they would be running around. Unfortunately we have stray cats (yuck!) and we had a bit of massacre take place in our backyard.

This chick was hiding from the cats in the shed by her coop buddy that didn't get away fast enough. The kids brought her in and we kept it inside to grow a little bigger and then attempted again to put it outside. She wasn't able to get along for the other hens. The others were being bullies! Anyways, the kids brought her in and all she did was follow me around the house! She is the nicest and funniest chicken I have ever seen!

Just like all the other animals that we have that live in our house, she thinks that she is human and part of our family. I have tried several times to let her out, because as you can imagine, she doesn't smell the best! We were calling her Chicken Lickin, but lately she has been sounding like a duck. So needless to say..... that is how the name Chuck came about! (What can I say we are a strange family!)

This video is of Eric and the chicken. Eric's parents were over for dinner and the kids got the chicken to show Grandpa. So...she decided to climb on Eric's head to feed. Well, doing what birds do best, she pooped on Eric! I think the funnest part is Eric's shirt, because it says "How do you keep an idiot busy?"
