Another New Arrival at the Chicken Ranch

The USPS Bus pulled up in front of the Ranch today and off-loaded just one passenger. Hazel, her name is Hazel, and she was referred to us by Eggent BabyRay and his crew, Faye, Mary Ann and Jimmy.

She had a note with her listing references. We took her in of course, especially since she was quite handsome and dressed for the season.

Here she is shortly after arrival:

We introduced her to another recent arrival, now identifed by her new alias, Ginny Egglaine (thought up by none other than Spring Hen herself for obvious reasons). We were telling her the story of Rodney Dangerbird.

Then Ms Mona joined in and introduced herself:

And it wasn't long before they discoveded that they all liked to dance: (Click on the picture)

Looks like the Ranch is going to be hopping for the next few days while I figure out what to do with the new arrivals.

What with the depressing economy all I can pay them is chicken feed and a place to roost. Unless, of course, they want to 'entertain' our guests.

We'll see.

    That's it, all I can say is with so much generosity and the ability to recover from a natural disaster (hurricane)and pull off an unoffical TEXAS EGGFEST at the Spring Chicken Ranch, plus take in the guests as needed, provide them with chicken feed, you two are an Eggsample of what makes America a great country. When you go into the voting booth VOTE YES FOR SPRING CHICKEN PRESIDENT AND SPRING HEN VICE PRESIDENT.

    Photobucket is telling us something fas failed which I assume is a nice way of saying the Chicken Dance isn't for public viewing, BUT NOT that it is naughty!

    Try it now. You might notice that Hazel is a bit frisky with Rodney Dangerbird. But even in his current state he still attracts the girls.

    But will Hazel 'respect" Rodney Dangerbird in the morning?

    At the rate you are breeding these things you will soon have a flock. Its good to know that the plumbing system does more than just keep you awake watching the forum when nobody else is willing to do so.
    Congrats on the Coop Party, I would have loved to be there as my first Eggfest.
    We are however working on the logistics of organising an Irish fest hopefully next year.
    Regards from Ireland.

    Hi Roger.

    You sure stay out of sight for long periods at a time. You're not hiding from the law, are you? LOL

    Did you see the photos of the Coop Party. If you missed them you can see them here:

    http://chickencoopparty.blogspot.com/

    Worth a look. It was fun.

    Do you ever make it stateside? If you do, put Spring Texas on your list of stops. I'll let you play with my girls.

    I have a feeling Hazel is a 'use 'em and lose 'em' sort of gal. Just what we need for the Coop. Rodney is just 'Love Fodder' for her type. Good thing he's disconnected from reality.

    I would love to spend more time on the forum, however when the forum is active in the evenings, I am deep in slumber land, being at least 5 hours ahead of most of you over there.
    I loved the photos of the coop party, they made me really sorry not to have been able to attend. May big ambition at the moment is to plan a holiday to the states which will coincide with Eggtoberfest, hopefully within the next 2 years.
    As for the law, remember the song, "I fought the law & the law won". i think that was written for me.
    I do get to look at the forum most days, but seldom have much time to post.
    Regards from Ireland.
