~Chicken Chatter~

Have you ever stopped to considered how many
of our common sayings are about chickens??

I thought it would be neat to compile a list. :-)

Here's my start so far...

mad as on old wet hen

don't get your feather's ruffled

pecking order

hen party

don't count your chickens before they hatch

don't put all your eggs in one basket

nest egg

feather your nest

chicken feed

hen house

mother hen

hen pecked

flew the coop

up with the chickens

walking on egg shells

like a chicken with it's head cut off

chicken out

no spring chicken

egg on your face

rule the roost

something to crow about

chicken scratch

stick your neck out

something stuck in your craw
