Hen Racing

Yes this post is about Chickens racing. I was watching ESPN during lunch today because I wanted to see the preseason football highlights and they showed a clip of this gem, so of course I immediately googled it.

The video starts out with a dude dressed up like some kind of wicked pilgrim with an eye mask stating that his hen is the fastest chicken in the world.... ummm yea

I am surprised the Blue Valley Farm Show has not organized a hen racing event yet, is there any money in being a hen race promoter?

PDN Contest Features Hot Chicks

PDN Faces Portrait Photography Contest 2010

Saw @PDNonline tweet for their portrait contest and was unaware that there was an animal category. I obviously have missed the boat but I know that I could have arranged to enter some of my photos of Snaps and Dora and the chickens and given Tyra and Oprah here a run for their money. Nonetheless these are fantastic photos and given me an idea to bring my fowl into my studio...not sure I have enough newspaper to line the floor though ahhaha.

The animal kingdom

So this morning I fed the ducks/chickens as I do every morning, and changed the water in the ducks pool, as I do every few mornings when they fill it up with mud and it needs to be dredged. I was then able to witness this amazing spectacle of the animal universe... she seemed to know it was coming as well. I may have some ducklings before winter hits.
