Re: [CHICKENS-101] If you were going to get a chicken for eggs

LOL, great poem :-) You need some of my Polish kids. Those hens lay like crazy for me!

I want a few more chickens and I know it all depends,
On if I eat the meat or let them shoot eggs out the ends.
I know the colors can vary, from the dark and to the light,
Reminds me of 1814, on that fabulous star spangled night.
I have heard that some are heat tolerant and some do like the cold,
Some are outright cowardly and some are extremely bold.
So forget the hens on paydays, us guys would like to pick
Let me know whats your favorite, your favorite type of chick.

Sorry for the poem, don't say "Lordy, Lord"
I am sitting at the computer and I am still extremely bored.
