Important Chicken Notice

[crystal_ballin]

Bessie, Bownessie, Champ, Igopogo, Issie, Kingstie, Nessie, Manipogo, Memphre, Muckie, Selma and Sharlie the pullet-hens are really doing well in their coop, but I was wondering if anyone else wanted to help raise them, dude? I can set up a rotating chicken-caretaker schedule. ⋋(◍’Θ’◍)⋌

Jo-sensei made 90% of helped me make the coop. ( ᐛ )و It's beautiful.

It's not that I don't love taking care of chickens, dude, but I think that taking care of chickens is something that everyone should enjoy. (•ө•)♡ They're all super well behaved and they all know their names and love hugs.

If anybody else out there is a fowl fancier who wants to experience the simple joy of raising hens, contact me. I can hook you up with the chickens of your dreams, dude. Do you know the taste of a farm-fresh egg floating in your tsukimi udon, dude? It's the taste of satisfaction. (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:・ﾟ✧

I want to volunteer! I love birdies of all shapes and plumage.

[crystal_ballin]

What sort of experience do you have with birds?

[planking]

I know a thing or two about raising farm animals. You're right, nothing beats fresh eggs right from the coop.

[You can take the cowboy out of the backwater farm town, etc etc etc.]

[crystal_ballin]

Or chicken cuddles from the chickens.

[planking]

Well, sure, they're pretty soft to the touch.

[crystal_ballin]

They like to nest in my hair.

[planking]

....wait, what?

[crystal_ballin]

Sometimes the chickens like to sit in my hair, dude. The Japanese bantams are small chickens.

[royaltwili]

[Chickens.. Cucco's.. oh God.]

Are you sure they're safe to be around????

[crystal_ballin]

Yeah sure, dude, why wouldn't they be? They're chickens. They lay eggs and eat food and drink water and poop. They're chickens.

[royaltwili]

..they don't attack you in a fury for no good reason?

['No good reason' being relentlessly striking them with a sword, but who's to say?]

[crystal_ballin]

Uh, no? They're chickens, dude. If there was a rooster, he might attack, but they're all hens. The most they can do is just sorta peck and these are all friendly chickens because I take care of them with love, dude.

[royaltwili]

[Well that's a relief. No army of flying feathered fearsome fiends to worry about anytime soon! Not that she plans on attacking them, but even a slight run-in with one where you accidentally step on their foot or something would warrant the barrage. Not fun.]

Ahh.. well, that's good. They're probably share that love back with you then. It must be rewarding... [Taking care of a flock, feeding them, leading them..]

[crystal_ballin]

Caring for chickens is extremely rewarding, not only for the eggs, but for the companionship of chickens, dude.

[royaltwili]

You're very.. dedicated.

[She still doesn't trust those birds. YOU NEVER KNOW]

[crystal_ballin]

Chickens are worth it, dude.

[golonghorns]

I 'helped', huh?

[crystal_ballin]

You're glad that I remember to acknowledge you, aren't you, Jo-sensei.

[golonghorns]

Oh. Sure. Absolutely.

[Actually, when he phrases it like that Joel realizes that he probably should just be happy to get a mention, if not the entirety of the credit he deserves. This IS Hagakure, after all. The boy who goes out for burgers and forgets his wallet.]

[crystal_ballin]

(((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o)))

[forgetbeam]

[Okay but how is this even happening. How is the most carefree, irresponsible guy in the world raising all these birds and keeping them happy and healthy. IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE but Kiyotaka can still respect that much.

Also, fresh eggs. Yessss.]

If you teach me the basics, of course I'll help!

[crystal_ballin]

::That's because you were possessed by the crazy and soonafter dead before Floor 5 opened up. Hagakure's character wasn't as firmly established back when you were fully functioning.::

Have you had any experience taking care of an animal before, dude? Especially with taking care of birds.

[magicdancer]

[Shantae was about to volunteer.

But then she remembered what happened the last time she looked after birds.

The egg ended up going rotten, and then the rotten egg was made into a latte for zombies.

Maybe she'd just wish them luck instead.]

Well, good luck with that!

[crystal_ballin]

::These are regular chickens. None of those awful things will happen this time. At all. Ever.::

Thanks?

[magicdancer]

[The rotten egg was normal too. Normal things tend not to happen to Shantae.]

Just one question though... What's tsukimi udon?

A better translation would be "moon viewing" or "moon looking," Hagakure

[crystal_ballin]

Oh, uh, hot wheat noodles in broth with green onions and an egg floated in on top so it's just barely cooked, and the yolk is still runny. Tsukimi means "moon look" so it's supposed to look like the moon sitting in your bowl, dude.

[magicdancer]

...I don't think the moon looks anything like an egg, or vice versa, but that DOES sound good.

[crystal_ballin]

The yolk is round and shining like a golden moon, dude. And it is good. Very good.

[magicdancer]

I thought the moon was silver.

[crystal_ballin]

Sometimes it's yellow?

[magicdancer]

Except when it's blue.

[mohawk_tomahawk]

You and Joel made that chicken coop?

[crystal_ballin]

Sure thing, dude. Maybe Jo-sensei did a tiny bit more of the work than I did, but we both put it together. Why do you ask, dude?

Threadjack because I'm a butt.

[golonghorns]

Yeah, Connor. I did a tiny bit more'n him.

the biggest

[crystal_ballin]

Like I said.
