13 elements of a rock-on day, by guest-hen: Dapple
1. Farmer-man lets us out of the coop at a respectable hour. Not so late that we are hollering.
2. Farmer-man is generous with the feed bucket(and keeps Annabelle from hogging)
3. The earth is warmed by the sun, and the soil is at just the right dampness for finding lots of worms.
4. Someone opens the garage and we find lots of crickets before they hide
5. a joyful song because I laid the most beautiful egg-bet you didn’t know that chickens like to sing. - When the right mood moves us.
6. lots of fresh, cool water-in a red dish, red is our favorite color
7. sun on my back, lots of soft, fine, warm dirt just right for a dust bath followed by a nap
8. cornbread made just for us, with seeds and fresh veggies inside
9. churning up the compost heap with my feet
10. snail hunts in the neighbor’s calla lily patch
11. she-who-tends-the-flock bringing us yummy pasta, and making sure everyone gets her fair share.
12. preening in the cool of the evening to the backdrop of wild parrot calls
13. the crooning and clucking-like sounds she-who-tends-the flock makes over us as she checks us in for the night and locks the doors.

VERY Cute entry :)Sounds like a great day for Dapple.
He, he I missed the point, I thought it were you but then got confused when you laid an egg and I started again ! You are the first person who writes as a chicken ! Have already red a lot of Cat and Dog bloggers but never a chicken ! Lol !
Wonderful idea for a list. :) Very creative. :) I’ve read entries by cats and dogs, but never any other animal. Thanks for sharing. :)
Happy T13. :)
Hehe cute! :D Happy TT!
Very cute idea for a TT!
Well, how unique is this? Dapple is downright pretty. And this whole list makes me think being a chicken in your care would be pretty nice. What a sweet Thursday Thirteen this is.
Gattina,
I’m glad you realized it was the chicken writing, not me. Makes for some interesting mental pictures! I’m glad you got a good laugh out of it.
thanks for visiting, which blog is your TT on? I see you have several.

thanks for commenting, it’s nice to see you stopped by.

The cornbread sounds like humans would like it too! Thanks for visiting my TT!
Please tell Dapple that I enjoyed her T13. She did a great job!
Thanks for visiting me today.
How funny to read something from a chicken’s point of view!
I have always wanted to have hens just like you. Now I can add that they can blog to the list of reasons. ;)
Have a Happy!
This is funny, girl! How creative!
How cute!
I love that phrase ‘she-who-tends-the-flock.’ It makes me want to get chickens to tend, also!
Great list! Happy TT!
Too cute!
