I have an affinity for chickens because of a little known secret, I used to raise them in my back yard. I tended to these chickens from egg to chick to adult.

Unfortunately, I had to let them go back into their natural wooded habitat, where they would naturally fly up into the trees at night because their wings were not clipped.

Ending on a more uplifting note, this video made me laugh. The techno beat is a bit annoying but it’s just too plain silly not to post for kick starting your weekend<\/a>.<\/p>\n
