Frank and Ernest by Thaves for January 17, 2025

Time to sell some to The Barn.

Of course you can count your chickens before they hatch. Just use “omelets” as the denominator.

actually, it’s a whole lot easier…

they tend to move about less

Well flock.

nice touch with the cluckers atop the barn & silo

It might depend on what sort of plot they’re hatching.

Ever seen “Chicken Run”?

Free range chickens gone amok.

As Chief Brody might say, “You’re gonna need a bigger coop”

Now just a chicken counting minute!

If he tries counting the sheep he might fall asleep.

So where ARE the eggs?

If they don’t hatch, they’re not chickens. Just rotten eggs.

don’t cont em yet Frank; Ernie’s about to reduce the number by 1…!

Just hope they don’t join the 20 million chickens who died of bird flu.

The more the merrier!

I suggest you stay out of the rabbit breeding business.

In Michigan, you can only buy free range eggs now

So long as he includes a + and – factor for the possible no-shows.

I like to do a head count now and then to make sure they are all here and the easiest way to do it is when their little automatic door opens and they go out one at a time. Yesterday I didn’t feel like waiting for auto and hit the manual button. I swear they looked at me and said “can’t fool me, it’s not 8 o’clock yet” and they just stood there.

Unless they all turn out to be rousters.

Does that mean chicken and egg prices will be going back down?

24?

Too late. They already hatched.

It’s been a good year here at Chickenopolis Farms and for those upwind and upstream from us.

I have never seen a chicken which could fly as high as a barn roof or the top of a silo.

You have to count your chickens before they hatch, because the IRS taxes you on inventory.

Does this have something to do with the price of eggs?

And one lucky, and very busy, rooster.

Especially if you have to feed them.

just cross that road when you come to it

That’s an eggselant idea
