Saying Goodbye...

The time has finally come to say goodbye to Nashville. The Rooster and Mother Hen are moving to a new coop in Knoxville.

But not to worry, The Ladies have found a new home (and new names, we hear) in an upscale carriage house. That's right! The Ladies are still Nashville Chicks through and through.

And here's a picture of Mother Hen checking out the new digs. As you can see, the new coop is much snazzier (and Mother Hen is much more motherly).

To get a fuller appreciation of the new home, check out the 360-degree view below...

Nugget is a...

Mother Hen and The Rooster went for their 20-week ultrasound yesterday. Nugget is developing well and is on track to be a big baby. We also learned Nugget's sex, clues to which are visible in the picture at left. If you're not sure on how to read the ultrasound, the movie below should clear things up...

Smart Chickens!

Have you ever sat on your back porch and wondered just how intelligent those chickens really are?  Apparently, some of them are pretty smart...

Introducing... NUGGET!

Mother Hen and The Rooster are proud to announce the impending arrival of a new addition to the family--Nugget!

Scotch Eggs!

One of the best things about having chickens is that our friends find it necessary to purchase any galline artifacts they run across in their daily lives. For example, take this Chicken Top Hat and Scarf, meant to decorate the top of any bottle you happen to have in the home.

In our home, this amazing craft decorates a bottle of scotch, making this a prime example of "Scotch Eggs." If you don't yet know the beauty that is scotch eggs, we'd love to have you over some time when we've got the deep fryer out. For now, this is as close as we're getting.

Galline Fashionistas

If you don't know already, industrial egg production is pretty awful. One of the common effects of chicken factories is that the chickens lose their feathers from the cramped cages.

So what's the answer to bald chickens? Knitting them sweaters, of course.

(If you Image Google "Chicken Sweater" you'll get plenty of other examples.)

Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles!

The Rooster was in LA this weekend for a conference and while there made it out to Roscoe's House of Chicken and Waffles. The name says it all. He ate a piece of fried chicken and a waffle. The food was pretty amazing, living up to the standards of a member of Nashville's informal Thursday Fish and Hot Chicken Club.

For a musical introduction to Roscoe's, check out this YouTube video made by one of Mother Hen's friends.
