Chicken Party!

Wow, what a party! I've never seen so many folks so excited about celebrating chickens. I love our chicken parties since I can talk about chickens as much as I want and no one rolls their eyes at me and says the obligatory "It all comes back to chickens again doesn't it Dawn." Well yes it does and on these nights...well that's okay if it's all about chickens. Before I go any further a huge THANK YOU is due to the host of the chicken party, Ram. I'm certain that all in attendance at this fine event will agree with me that he outdid himself at this winter chicken party. The decorations, the games, the prizes, the new label and the outfits...all displayed his creativity and love of chickens at there finest. Thank you Ram for making your home the Lucky Cluck clubhouse and for devoting so much time and energy into making the event fabulous. Big thanks are also due to Liz "chicken lady" fox for donating amazing chicken bling and more as prizes and to Alexis for original chicken decorations. I'll let the pictures tell most of the story of the night as it was six hours of jam packed fun. First all enjoyed a potluck dinner followed by the unveiling of the new label (certainly Becca's favorite). Then a primary was held to select the candidates for President of Lucky Cluck Farm. The two parties were Republican and Green. The Republican candidates discussed their ideas for turning Lucky Cluck into a factory farm and culling all hens that aren't high egg producers while the Green candidates spoke of maintaining the essence of what makes Lucky Cluck the best chicken co-op in Lincoln County...green pastures where the hens can run free all day, Tillamook Cheese as a mid-day snack for all hens, plenty of space to run and scratch and stretch, a diversity of breeds and a place for hens to finish out their days even when they don't lay the year round. The race was tough with Ram and Doug vying for the Republican nod and Dawn and Eli for Green. After the votes were tallied Doug came out as the Republican candidate of choice with his platform of crap and Dawn and Eli teamed up to run as President and Vice President respectively for the Green Party. Certainly one of the highlights of the night was the new Lucky Cluck video produced by Def Tech (aka Khem...owner of Pollita). You absolutely must check out this video with original music by The Bills (we can't get enough of this song at Lucky Cluck) on You Tube www.youtube.com/watch?v=fu1J49o5hYo. Khem, you truly did a kick ass job on this. Everyone put on their hen hats for an intense and competive game of Chicken Jeopardy designed and hosted by Ram. Three teams were challenged by some tough questions with the winners being the Scrambled Eggs. Personally, I can hardly wait for the next party.
