Savage Chickens by Doug Savage for April 30, 2024

Not if you have a toupee. Those things are a bear to keep clean.

Finding any hair when you are a chicken is the real trick.

I think it meant to say it washed its hare today.

Hair? What happened to feathers!!

Sometimes I’ll take whatever accomplishment I can and congratulate myself with a pat on the back. Every year they get more medical in nature … and the pat lower.

Chickens don’t have hair!

right there with you, Chicken.

No. It’s a major accomplishment for me, too.

chickens have hair?

I just had to Google it….“Unlike hair, Feathers grow from an outgrowth of the epidermis. Follicles develop as raised papilla filled with dermal cells. Feathers remain attached to the follicle until they are pushed out from below by a new feather. The anatomy of feathers is surprisingly complex.”

And the rooster offered, Well, you can at least use my comb.

Not bad for a slow day.

Some days, washing your hair is a major accomplishment.
