Free-range chicken

Colonel Saunders on the tractor

Guest post by Shannon: This is our pet chicken who is named Colonel Saunders. He almost died in the chicken house a couple days ago so we rescued him. He’s very dramatic and plays dead (but not on demand). He’s very chill and doesn’t give us any problems. Mike thinks the colonel has some brain damage due to a recent stroke but I think he’s smart. He gets to live on his own, with lots of space, we feed him whenever he asks (by tapping incessantly on his food dish), and he hangs out with us while we work. I dyed his top feathers yellow with dandelion flowers so we could tell him apart from the rest.

  1. I just found your site today and am really impressed with your style and content.

    We have a hen like Colonel Saunders…but I recently convinced my girlfriend to just call her #6 in case we want to put her in our bellies someday.
