My Pet Chicken Blog

Scratch, check, peck, repeat
Through the winter cold, in the summer heat
Under spring rain, through the autumn leaves
Scratch, check, peck, repeat.

Here you see a bug, there you see a seed
Keep your body moving, everything you need
Lies underneath those busy, busy feet
Scratch, check, peck, repeat

Cackle, cluck, purr, sing
Early in the morning, hear our egg song ring
Soothing little sounds chatting through the day
Talking to each other like the words people say

Sit, brood, push–an egg!
Listen to the human as she starts to beg
“Breakfast, please, my pretty pet hens!”
We’re working on it here, my impatient human friend!

Dig, huddle, kick some dirt
Underneath your feathers, so the mites won’t hurt
Pick, shake, nibble, preen,
Gotta keep the feathers looking nice and clean

Rest, relax, soak some sun
Perfect definition of some chicken fun
Eat, drink, explore, rest
Chillin’ like a chicken, feelin’ fine, no stress

Light’s getting dim, climb into the coop
Getting kind-of tired, must be time to roost
Rest, relax, beak under the wing
Wake up with the sun, do the same things!

Every single day, every single week
Scratch, check, peck, repeat
Happy little chickens, best you’ll ever meet
Scratch…
Check…
Peck…

Repeat.
