jsharr ★ Posted November 30, 2018 Share #2 Posted November 30, 2018 I was watching The Tonight Show back in the Carson days and he was having little kids finish sayings that he would start. He asked a little boy to complete "Never count your chickens.... The boy replied "before they rip your lips off." That has been my favorite saying since then. "Never count your chickens before they rip your lips off." And I now will never count chickens, just to be safe. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something was taking one or two of them from their pen every night, so the counting got easier every day. #truestory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groupw Posted November 30, 2018 Share #4 Posted November 30, 2018 It's easiest to count them at night when they roost. The coyotes never bothered our place or our chickens. However raccoons and possums liked to steal eggs! A few of their numbers were reduced, but I never counted how many.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12string Posted November 30, 2018 Share #5 Posted November 30, 2018 I have one in the freezer. Maybe when I get home I should count it. I haven't done that in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirtyhip Posted November 30, 2018 Share #7 Posted November 30, 2018 No. I think about how many chickens there could be, but I wait until they hatch to really count them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
