Wow, great photos, everyone. Thanks for the support in these days of The Chicken Wars.
JT, Those CHURKENDOOSES are something! I think I may need to order some of those for the yard at The Grateful Shed.
California Girl, I love that chicken hat. PM me with details on how to order one to wear at the Beach Bar Sunday night forum gatherings. I think I would look pretty smart in that hat. Thanks.

I've stayed out of this until I had something to contribute. And now, with respect to chickens, I bring you

NASA Chicken Gun

and, disturbingly,

Chicken-powered Nuclear bomb

Where does this insanity end?

Cheers, RickG

Joshie- You crack me up :lol: . I did a double-take when I saw the new avatar. Good-bye Sock Monkey. This entire thread has been light hearted entertainment for me. I also like Bev's Elmer Fudd comment. I'm an Elmer Fudd fan from waaaaaay back.

:P I heard that one of the roosters in Ruth's yard saw a basket of easter eggs and said "OK I'm beating up that PEACOCK the next time I see him!" :P

Wow Rick, all of those poor unsuspecting chickens being sacrificed for the betterment of mankind. Bomb detonation, being shot out of a cannon at a plane. Not to mention cacciatore, pot pie, etc.
Makes me feel kind of sorry for our feathered friends who just want to live their lives out undisturbed in Ruth and Ron's backyard...Be one with the chickens Ruth.. :wink:

Bug is on her way. She posted on Facebook that she has cleared security. I am smirking at the chickens in the back yard but I didn't say anything because I don't want to tip them off.
Boy, are they in for a surprise.
