Yesterday, while I was at the dentist getting some work done on my crappy British teeth, I received a text message from my neighbor Girly Girl.
Girly Girl- Okay you seriously need to take Buff back. I’m ready to kill it.
Mavis- Why?
Girly Girl- It’s awful. It won’t shut up! It sounds like a child yelling.
Mavis- It’s all in your head.
Girly Girl- Chino put the chickens out early too. Like at 8 – 8:30 am.
Mavis- Chickens are supposed to go outside at day break you dummy. That’s the problem. Just put her out early tomorrow.
Girly Girl- I’m listening to her right now. When can The Girl come and get her? Or should I just push it down the hill?
Mavis- Stop being so dramatic. Maybe Buff is dehydrated. Just give her some water or something.
Girly Girl- I knew you gave us the defective chickens. Come get her!
So this morning, at the crack of freakin’ dawn, we had to go retrieve Buff the Wayward chicken.
Dang! I was so close to getting rid of that pesky chicken!
So hey, does anyone want an egg layer? She eats bugs and is really good with kids.

lol — from how far back in your family do these “crappy” british teeth come? i’m worried that my son has inherited my eng/scots hybrids. orthodontics ahoy!
Mavis says
LOL. Wayyyyyyyy back.
LaToya says
I have good teeth. Still wore braces in college. But I married crappy British teeth and so the children have inherited them as well. Glad we coupon because orthodontics and dental work ain’t cheap.
I remember you were excited to get rid of that chicken. And now it’s back. Karma – ROTFL!!
Mavis says
That freakin’ chicken!
Holly says
We’d take the Wayward Buff, but I don’t think you want to drive to the Hamlet of Beavercreek with a Chicken in the Car. Good Luck 🙂
Kelly says
Mmm…trade a rooster for your chicken…:)
Helen in Meridian says
I believe Buff’s Honeymoon lasted fewer days than Kim Kardashian’s wedding, 71 days. Why did you take her back? Maybe a slowly simmered chicken soup in your pot is in the works.
Mavis says
Ha Ha Ha… Soooo true!
Samantha says
Funny stuff!
Sarah says
If at first you don’t fricasse, fry fry a hen!
Carri says
I’ll take her! I’m sure Stupid the Rooster would love having another lady. 🙂
Miriam says
If you don’t like your chicken and no one else does, why don’t you eat her?
Shell says
I think maybe Buff may be getting a bum rap. They say animals mimic their owners. Hmm.
