Do Blogland Zombies raise urban chickens?

It's at once a simple quandary and at the same time a question for the ages. Do Blogland Zombies (here and here)  raise urban chickens (here, here and here)?


And if they did, would it look like this?

Credit for this post goes to reader Cham, who continues to egg me on.

  1. I love it. Dude, you are completely going off on this. Chickens would be perfect for blogland zombies. Plus that awful gloss red would hide all kinds of stains in the coop.

    Going back to chickens, though, I got rid of my flock of 6 hens just a few months ago. I do really miss having good fresh eggs every morning, and really, chickens aren't much stupider than your average dog. They are, however, louder, more aggro (unless your dog is one of those yappy terriers), and they crap EVERYWHERE. Just being able to walk through my back yard again without building up a protective layer on chickenshit on my shoes is worth the price of giving up the fresh eggs.

    Zombies, however, would probably feel right at home with walking through chicken crap.

  2. What?! Chickens defecate inconveniently? According to the urban chicken partisans who've been pillorying me, chickens shit infrequently and when they do it's like angels singing. It heals! It nurtures! It's natural!

  3. Of course they do. Urban chicken coops lure tons of eco-narcissists into the zombie lair so they can feed on their brains. Duh.

    Oddly enough they taste like chicken.

  4. Ahhhh, so that's what's underneath all of this urban chickenry. Thanks! Now it makes sense.

  8. As "Your Public", I applaud you, good sir! You have demonstrated to the world a most peculiar example of symbiosis. Biologists and eco-narcissists alike will be raving about this one for weeks at Starbucks! Truly invigorating coffee conversation, if I do say so myself.

    And, now, excuse me while I go tenderize some chicken breast with a mallet. After all, each of us must do our part to fight off the fowl creatures which only serve as a distraction to keep us from suspecting the promiscuous zombies sneaking around in the shadows behind us.

  9. Ade: The chickens have the option to go zombie but not all of them exercise it.

    Cham: This was all your doing. In the meantime, the original chicken post continues to be a traffic magnet and commenting free-for-all. Someone just called me a sad old queen. Anonymously of course. The chicken partisans are the tea baggers of the handmade movement apparently. Bring it on!

  10. Anonymously, indeed. Afraid to show their face (or, should I say "beak"?) in public...

  12. Chook poo IS actually the food of the gods, as long as your god is a plant species.

  13. You can also make a bomb from it.

  14. Make a bomb from it?
    So the sky police will arrest me if I try to burn off the chicken poop from my shoes on my next transatlantic flight? I'm only doing it to be more considerate of my seat mates, really officer!
    Now I have to contend with eco-narcissist chicken-terrorists-zombies?
