Chicken Nuggets and Other Questions

I arrived back home safe and sound? Well maybe not completely sound.....But I did enjoy myself and learned a lot of interesting things as well!

As my title indicates; I learned how to wash chickens, and how to offend them as well! It was not my intention to offend much less make them mad at me; it seems my bestest friend Deserthen's daughter keeps several roosters who do not care for the presence of my boots in their coop. To make matters a bit uncomfortable, I was asked to retrieve eggs on a Friday morning.....it is my favorite thing to do while I'm there and I love to visit with most of the hens and a few roosters!!!!
I entered the first coop and luckily the hens were not mad at me and gave up their eggs willingly. The next coop I moved to has a rooster named "Luke Duke"; this little guy and he IS little with a complex? comes running at me tongue sticking out (is that a warning sign I wonder?) and proceeds to beat the crap outta my boots, egg basket and green shovel!! Now the basket is to carry the eggs....the shovel is for protection from Luke and various ornery roosters....which I unfortunately left in the coop with Luke! Did I mention that had someone taped this we'd be rolling in the dough for sure? No?
Oh well, I wrestled the shovel and basket back from said "little Luke" to which I said Phooey it wasn't worth 3 eggs to get my eyes scratched out over. Next coop I move to has this hen who thinks she is a rooster.....talk about a "gender-bender" identity crises!
I later find out her name is Azul....she pecks at my boots' kilties which I laugh cause it tickles! You know the meaning of "Madder than a wet hen?" Well she was MAD!!! And I was to blame.....cause I made the mistake of giggling and she got madder. I moved on to the rest of the coop's tenants which were very easy to contend with including the fact that I had to literally crawl inside a coop or two to get the eggs!!
Last year, my bahookie was a lot smaller and this year I'm just glad that DodgeMan wasn't out there with the camera to snap a couple of pictures of my bahookie as it was a "wider" load!

Now the day before, we washed chickens. Yep, you heard and read right.....washing chickens is no easy feat either! Which is why the chickens were still holding a grudge the next day when I went for the eggs?? I made the mistake of asking politely, "Just exactly where are the nuggets located on a chicken"? BIG MISTAKE!!!! I offended one of the ornery roosters who while he was outside drying in the fresh air did a "cockle doodle doo" to tellegraph to the other chickens: " do not be nice to the tall dark haired woman when she collects eggs!! She wants to know where, I said, where in the world are the nuggets on a chicken!!!!" And that my friends is how and probably WHY Luke Duke took it upon himself to put me in my place the next morning!!!
Of course, I later learned that the little roosters complex contributes to the fact that he's mean to DesertHen's daughter as well!! And here I thought it was because of me offending the other rooster while giving him a bath!!!
