    I make a "kill or cure" chicken soup that has, so far, not killed anyone. My husband found this cartoon and wanted me to see it:

    Imagine a chicken soup for a chicken – now that would be something! On a more serious note, you're absolutely right that chicken soup isn't a magical cure-all, but it sure does provide comfort and warmth when needed. If you ever want to simplify your cooking routine and still enjoy the benefits of a nourishing broth, I've got a little secret. I usually order Bone Broth online. It's a real time-saver and a staple in my kitchen. Keep rocking that "kill or cure" chicken soup, and here's to good health and hearty laughs!

    When I make dog food, I skim the fat from the chicken thighs that are slow cooked overnight. I also remove as much skin as I can. All of that is for Rufus not to consume too much fat.

    Who gets the fat and skin? The hens! They fight over it.

    So they are cannibals. But lots of birds eat birds, just not usually their own species slow cooked for eight hours.

    Somewhere I once saw a cartoon of hens eating out of a Kentucky Fried Chicken bucket. One of the hens remarked "I have to admit - we do taste delicious!".

    In another cartoon, a nurturing hen is feeding chicken soup to another chicken, remarking "Don't worry, it's not anybody we know".

    That cartoon is hilarious, thanks for sharing! Chicken soup might not be a cure-all, but it sure is comforting, especially when you make it with that "kill or cure" attitude! Your husband sounds like a real gem for finding that cartoon. If you're still on the hunt for info, I've got a suggestion. Since you're experimenting with cooking, have you tried using Bone Broth? It's like the secret weapon for adding flavor and nutrients to soups, plus it saves you loads of time. I've been using organic Bone Broth lately, and it's been a game-changer in my kitchen!

    What did the chicken say to the rooster who was complaining about all the work he had to do on the farm?

    She said, “Come back to me when you have laid a dozen eggs, one after another, then we’ll talk.”

    He said, “I can’t lay eggs”.

    She said, “Egg-zactly”.

    Not really, our neighbour lady offered them to us. We always give her fresh veg during the season, so she wanted to share with us.

    Old, old joke -

    A man goes to the doctor and says, “Doctor, you’ve got to help me. My wife thinks she’s a chicken!”

    The doctor asks, “How long has she had this condition?”

    “Two years,” says the man.

    “Then why did it take you so long to come and see me?” asked the doctor.

    The man shrugs his shoulders and replies, “We needed the eggs.”

    Hahahaha. Well, I had not heard that one. You might be tempted to take it up for the man and suggest that he is no dumb cluck…or not ?

    How did the chicken cross the road with no legs?
    In a KFC bucket.
