Chicken Preservation In Action

Ashton: Hey, there’s an egg here. Is this part of how we are going to save the chickens?

Newton: That’s not a chicken egg. Can’t you smell the catnip in it? Girls are so strange.

Ashton: I don’t do catnip, that’s your thing. I do chicken.

Newton: That’s not exactly a secret, Ashton.

Ashton and Newton with the catnip eggNewton: Did you hear that the head peep found chickens at Global Pet Expo this week?

Ashton: She did? Really?

Newton: Really. People are keeping them in their back yards. Maybe that’s why you thought we were running out. You weren’t looking the right place.

Chickens in coopAshton: Why would people hide chickens in their back yards? Don’t they know I need them for my chicken emporium?

Newton: I don’t think they’re hiding the from you.

Ashton: Why else would they be hiding them there, then?

Chickens in coopNewton: They’re keeping them as pets.

Ashton: That doesn’t make sense. You don’t taste your pets.

Newton: They aren’t tasting them. They’re taking care of them. There was even a chicken there in a wheelchair.

Chicken in a wheelchairAshton: Well, the wheelchair will make it easier to catch, at least. How fast do you think it can go? I might have to start working out.

Newton: Ash! That’s not what people want you do to with their pet chickens.

Ashton: But if that’s where the chickens are, that’s where I’ll go so I have enough for my chicken emporium.

Newton: So the dinosaur emporium is really dead?

Newton looks over his floofAshton: As dead as the dinosaurs, Newt.

    The Mom has a friend who used to live here in the city, and she had chickens as pets. We don’t understand why, either, Ashton, MOL.

    Chicken coops in the backyards is big around here now and how surprising too since we are 100% in the city. They even have Coop walks in the spring where you can follow a map to visit all the back yard coops

    We think those chickens are cute and how nice of the people to give that chicken a wheel chair. Ashton, you wouldn’t want a great big dog to come chase you, would you???

    Mom really wants some chickens but she doesn’t have time now to get all her chores done. How would she ever take care of chickens? She needs to devote all her time to us and leave all the chickens for you, Ashton.

    Ashton, we think those people are keeping the chickens for their eggs. Our mom has a friend who raises chickens for eggs. Maybe you could get some of those eggs and sit on them until they hatch so you could get your chickens for the emporium. MOL!.

    I’m glad you found the chickens! I think you won’t have too much trouble catching them if they are all in cages like that. Tell your peeps that I hope they had fun at the Expo!
