Chore Coat Challenge aka: Stuff your coat with your rooster

[User690263]

How do I explain it to my hubby when I get sent home from work?

This guy would totally go with me though! And he's pocket sized

One other thing is that you *might* get some strange looks from people who are trying to figure out why your pocket is moving around and making chirping noises...

Just throwing it out there, don't take any of them biters. You'll be bloody and still cold.

Got it, Mr bitey butt stays home.

Eh, the people I'm around are pretty used to me being a bit odd, so they might not even notice

Not a rooster, but…Holly volunteered as tribute when she heard what I thought of doing. She knows which side her bread is buttered on!

This reminds me of a story about the fabulous children’s book illustrator and homesteader Tasha Tudor, who had a beloved pet rooster named Chickahominy:

“When Chickahominy was very little, Tasha would put a small towel under him and tuck him into her dress, just above the waistline where it is tied. On one such occasion Tasha went grocery shopping, and at the checkout counter the clerk paused, looked around and said: “Do I hear a chicken?” Without a moment’s hesitation Tasha explained her hearing aid occasionally made such sounds, though it might be mentioned she never did wear one.”

Here is a link to Chickahominy’s whole (very sweet) story. And if you haven’t heard of Tasha Tudor, check out the rest of the website, which is dedicated to her.

I had a chicken with me, and I needed to take the bus, sooo....
I might have partly been wanting to see if I could get away with it. Long story short: I did

People probably just thought, "Oh, look, an Emotional Support Chicken," and went about their business.

I don't have any roosters, otherwise I would participate

I am so sorry. Is it a choice or are you in an area where you cannot keep them?

I did take a serama pullet in my pocket on the bus today though.... don't ask.

I have to ask...
