My FUNNIEST Chicken story happened with a fellow blogger......♥Remember NIKKI at BLAH BLAH BLAH BLOG ?
She is, without a doubt, one of the FUNNEST ladies I've had the pleasure to know.
♥
About 4 or 5 years ago, we were all on RATE MY SPACE where you are SUPPOSED
to post photos of your house or rooms...We did that......for awhile....
Then, one day, just out of the BLUE..
I posted a picture of one of my ROOSTERS...
Well, needless to say, EVERYone jumped on the ROOSTER WAGON and started
posting THEIR roosters....
NIKKI....wanting to join in the fun but having NOT ONE SINGLE ROOSTER in her house,
ran to her freezer, ...
grabbed a FROZEN CUT UP FRYER...
took a photo of it and....
POSTED IT ON RATE MY SPACE
for all the world to see....
I'm telling ya...I laughed so hard, I nearly threw up....
It was so so funny and, all these years later, I SELDOM see a cut up chicken that
I don't think of
NIKKI......
"show me the way, JACK"
ALL IS WELL WITH MY SOUL...♥♥
hope it is with YOURS, too. :)
This is MAGNIFICENT MIKE....can you believe he has a little door on his side that opens to place a CANDLE inside...? CRAZY...
This is TISKIT....TISKET shows up a lot at our breakfast table.....
♥
♫.a tisket, a tasket...I lOST my yellow basket...♪♪
just a song from my early childhood....:)
A special friend gave these magnificent rooster picture to me...

I loved this post, BJ! You made me smile with all the roosterific stuff you have. ;-D
Not sure which ones are my favorites. You have quite a collection!
Your house looks lovely.
Hope you are having a great Monday. I'll say a prayer for rain for you guys..
Laughing at your post on roosters, who knew roosters could be so funny. Okay I need to get out and buy some. Thanks, Decor. Lady
What a roosterlicious post, BJ. You have lots of great roosters and hens, and I love the names, and yes, I name lots of stuff in my house, too. Love the quotes. xo
I am smiling all over after reading your whole rooster post. You have some great roosters! Now, personally, I think the one at the end is hysterical...like he's not really sure he's a rooster at all~
I hope you have a wonderful Texas night-xo Diana
Loved all your chickens bj and your sense of humor here and that you name them all...amazing! I'd have to go buy a name book if I did that with all of mine1 Very cute, loved it all :D
I ahve been upset that I don't have any roosters and couldn't come play! I never thought to take a picture of REAL CHICKEN!!!!!!!!! That is hilarious!!!! I love ALL your roos and chicks! What a GREAT collection! And you display them all so beautifully! Have a great week, BJ! XO, Pinky
What a hoot you are! So that's what Grandma Moses would've done. Well, I'm glad she started painting. Did she ever paint roosters? She must have!
Your hubby does do wonderful projects. I like the cupola a lot.
You have quite a variety of roosters, BJ! This is such a cute post. :D
Which one is your favorite?
Woo Hoo-Lovin' Waylon and Willie! (Both yours and the originals.) I have a Tiskit too, she's on the window sill in the kitchen. Cute cartoon at the end:@)
I have always loved your sweet chicken collection BJ. You
(c)lucky girl:>)
This is one of the most FUN posts! I love all of your pretty things! ♥
Your posts are so funny...you have taken the party to a whole new level! I am still smiling!!
XO,
Jane
I love your post today...your collection is so wonderful, it just made me happy...!
bj I have the biggest smile on my face after reading this! Love that you name your Roosters. They are all so cute I could not pick a fav. I cracked up over the 'cut up chicken' what a cute story. Praying for rain for ya'll! hugs, Linda
Fun post BJ! Love your roosters and hens!
Cockadoodledoo! You forgot to post Foghorn Leghorn and a favorite movie my daughters was Rock A Doodle (i think that was 1991?).
Too funny! Loved all your Roosters♥
Wow! You DO have chickens and all of them are so fabulous it's hard to chose which I like the most.
Cute post.
Hey BJ....just a darling post...but I knew it would be!!!!!
Barb ♥
That would be something Nikki would do. My sister told me about her blog way before I started blogging and I always laughed till I cried. What happened to her?? You have some great roos. I didn't show all of mine. It would have taken way too long.
LOL about Nikki, BJ! What a hoot... or is that a cluck???
Love ALL of your yard birds, but my very, very favorites are the two paintings and the weather vane. How neat!
Dropping by from Shelia's to wish you a wonderful day!
Happy Cockadoodledo to you...
XO,
Sheila :-)
What a great post. I can't stop laughing about your friend Nikki and her chicken story. You have some beautiful roosters and chics. So glad I found you at Marty's.
Marianne :)
BJ,I have really enjoyed meeting all the roo's and chicks in "the house".
I enjoyed reading every word.You are a rock-a-doodle-doo!
~JO
I love your posts BJ.. You have the greatest sense of humor.. You have such cute roo's and each so different from the other.
Sending ya'll some of this rain we've had the last few evenins.. I hope ya'll get some soon.
What a great post BJ! Love your roosters. Visiting from NoteSongs.

Not a hen nor a rooster in my house - obviously I'm totally out of the loop, but I sure did enjoy yours! Perhaps it's all my Louisiana 'gators that keep the chicks away...Oh! Oh! I just remembered, Mister is taking "Rooster shots" into his bad knee, I guess that makes him the " cock of the walk" at our place!! LOL. Does he count?
BJ,
You have such a lovely collection! I know you enjoy them so much. I love "the end"! Too cute!
Blessings,
Kathy
I miss Nikki - I always laughed at her posts; I still her have her on my blog roll hoping she will come back. Enjoyed all of your chicks and roosters. Looking forward to seeing the rest. Sally
Plenty of roosters reside within your abode. And yet everyone of them seems more cocksure and proud than the real ones. The attitude that seems to crow who is the king of this coop. Lots of kings here, but not many servants (yourself excepted :)
Is that a box of oatmeal raisin cookies? The sight alone prompts me to say these beauties are delicious!
BJ,
Too darn cute! You certainly have a lot to crow about at Sweet Nothings! Thank you for sharing your collection and the story about NIKKI...priceless!
Fondly,
Pat
Oh, BJness, I knew you'd have a wonderful post and you did not disappoint! You have some wonderful yard birds and I'm just giggling at your names for them - WILLIE and WAYLON and the boys! :) Elton John! :) Oh, you're a hoot or a cocledoodledoo! Now your favorite roo has an adorable bottom! ;)
Thank you so much for coming to my party, BJ!
You are the sweetie,
Shelia :)
Adorable, adorable. You have some wonderful roosters. Love the names you have given them. As always my friend you have done a beautiful job. Hugs to you, Karie
I just knew it was going to be a blast stopping by to see your rooster/chicken post!!! Fantastic! And now I know that chickens came BEFORE the eggs. I feel so much better :)
I Love your rooster and hen collection -- most especially your weather roo! So many fun roosters and chicks running around your house. I do believe that you're the most fun chick of all! Thanks for your visit.
These are beautiful!
I played too. Mine are here and here.
Ah yes...bj..I do not think there is one single thing in your home that I don't just love! I cannot wait to get out my tablecloth...Fall is on it's way.
Yep..you do Roosters wonderfully..but then you do everything well. So..do you square dance? :)
Any rain your way yet??
Hugs,
Mona
These are so pretty! Happy RT.
Mine's here.
Wow, I can't believe you found that many roosters!!!! They were all great too. Fun post. Mickie :)
Great cocledoodledoo! Trish
How fun, love the polka dot plates and your wonderful pictures!
Loved "The End"....no, not that it was long...I don't think it was as long as you warned us. It was a special treat. And to think of all that wonderful green in your back yard!!!!!!!!! Goodness gracious, our yard is so brown from the drought. Except for where the soaker hose goes around the foundation. LOL
LOVED it all BJ. Of course, I always do.
Emerald City and Red Poppy Field
Hope your Tuesday treats you well.
What a treat for the eyes, BJ. I love all of your treasures. I think that weather vane might be my favorite part, but why pick?
What a fun post, BJ. I love your fabulous collection of roosters and hens. I would smile every time I looked at them.
I'm howling with laughter over this terrific post, BJ! What a wonderful sense of humor you have!
I didn't know about Shelia's party or I would have dragged out the few roosters that I own. No where near the great collection that you have going, though.
Thanks for sharing it & your funny memories that go along with them. I must go find NIKKI at BLAH BLAH BLAH BLOG now.
Hugs,
Rett
I knew you'd have a lot of fun going on over here. You do make me smile and laugh and have a grand time, BJ.
I know you are suffering as we are from lack of rain and blistering heat, but honestly this post is totally COOL.
~ Sarah
Oh, I forgot to mention,
"Le Coq of the Walk" ~ priceless title.
I love your roo collected!
That is hilarious, I'd never thought to take a picture of chicken in the freezer. haha!
Have a great day!
BJ, did I mention that my frenchy clock is for sale? I'm opening up a booth in the fall in an inside local flea market where I can sell my furniture and decor. items I have been buying up. Take a look at some of the things that are for sale. Thanks for dropping by my blog site. Decor. Lady
I giggled all the way through this post, so cute. I love that they all have names and they are all wonderful. Loved the story of the cut up fryer. lol How fun. Thanks so much for joining TTT. Hugs, Marty
Yep..you did it again! I KNOW you have many more Roosters ..like..for example your gorgeous tablecloth! Yes, indeed you have more Roosters.
By the way...does Rooster start with a capital letter...I mean..is is a proper name..no? Ah well...I mean we don't spell Dog with a cap..do we.
Too late.. :)
I LOVE your Roo's bj!!
Great post ~ No doubt ~ You like Hens and Roosters ~ LOL ~ great photos ~

Laughing Out completely Loud at your rooster post! You are surely as funny as your blogger friend who photo'd a package of cut up pieces!!! You have a ton of great roosters, and no I have not named mine but since I love the way you've named yours, I will get busy today and start shelling out names - how fun is that?!?! Thanks for sharing at the party!
