A conversation with some chickens:

Me: "Do my chickens wanna go outside??!"
Chickens: "bwak bwak BWAK"

(translation: "Screw that crap!")

Don't worry too much, the chickens are all safe and sound. Their chicken coop is probably a nicer house than many third world countries (no lie). They have a heat lamp which is probably costing me a fortune to run (it keeps it above freezing), plastic to keep the breeze out, a full view glass door to let in a lot of light for warmth, the neighbor plowed a path right to the coop door and lastly, Tanner fixed the little gap under their door to keep the snow out (brilliant job btw).

The down side is, the dirty little buggers are all cooped up (get that joke now?) with 20 of their closest friends and frienemies. I bet there's some interesting conversations going on out there.

Besides the conversations with me anyway.
