Comments on: Chicken fences http://roxcy.synthian.org/2006/04/27/chicken-fence/ Uplifting, edifying, and enriching reading by and for Latter-day Saint Women Tue, 06 Jan 2009 12:58:38 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.4 by: Starfoxy http://roxcy.synthian.org/2006/04/27/chicken-fence/#comment-520 Mon, 01 May 2006 03:07:22 +0000 http://roxcy.synthian.org/2006/04/27/chicken-fence/#comment-520 I wrote a comment last night, but apparently it got lost in the depth of the internet. I'm not really up for trying to remember what I wrote. So, c'est la vie. Anyhow, thanks for all of your comments, I used this analogy in a talk I gave as a youth in my parents ward. When I visit some people still ask my about 'my chickens.' (I guess they missed the part that the coyotes got all of them...) Also, I've been wanting to gather a compilation of chicken noises in various languages. Part of me wants to see if I can make a little book out of it. So maybe those out there who have served foriegn speaking missions can help me out here? I'll start: English Roosters: Cock-a-doodle-doo! English hens: Cluck Cluck French Roosters; Co-Co-Ri-Co! And fMhLisa, get the chickens. Your kids are old enough where they could do all the maintenance and you'd hardly have to touch the things. And chickens are endless entertainment for little kids. Thats the best part about grandma's house is all the chickens! :) I wrote a comment last night, but apparently it got lost in the depth of the internet.

No coyotes, though we did get skunks, which is really fun too. You'd think I'd know better, but just lately, I've been wanting chickens. Ug. I grew up with chickens too.

But I can say that I think you hit the nail on the head. I am far to tired right now to make an intelligent comment. But I can say that I think you hit the nail on the head.

I found it fascinating that you were able to tame the chickens! They trusted you, but they weren't able to get past their "stupidity" to let their trust enable them to see the fence as a protection. I hope that I have let the Savior tame me. This post reminds me that I had better allow my trust in him extend to accepting the counsel of his prophets, even if I don't understand all the reasons behind it. Wonderful analogy.

Thanks for the mental picture--I will have to try to remember that next time I am tempted to "fly over the fence". What a wonderful way to think about one of Satan’s evil plans.

I wish I had more to say, but y'know, you said it. I've certainly been aq chicken now and then myself in life and flapped over a fence or two I shouldn't have. Thanks for the image; I'm sure a time will come when I'll have to call on it. :) Thanks. A great uplift. Awesome. Well done.

I grew up on the same sort of farm, and I hated the chickens. They were dirty and they pecked my hands when I gathered the eggs. Sheep are just as stupid, too. They'll eat themselves to death if allowed to. Great post.
