Hobby Lobby's metal rooster is so bizarre it looks like AI fowl play
Okay, I've been staring at this Hobby Lobby metal rooster, and I have to say, I'm with you. This thing looks like it was generated by an AI that only had nightmares to work with. It's not a breed I've ever seen, and I've seen some bizarre feathered friends. The proportions are all wrong, the comb looks like a melted candle, and the whole vibe screams "fowl play" of the digital kind. I can't decide if it's trying to be an actual chicken and just failed horrifically, or if someone really did just type "weird rooster" into a generator. For a more heartwarming take on real poultry drama, check out our piece on the hen cam that survived some actual fowl play.
When thunder claps and the coop door fails, two feathered friends are gone
Oh, that thunderstorm really did a number on your heart, didn't it? When the coop door fails and the claps of thunder send everyone scattering, it's a special kind of fowl play from Mother Nature. I'm so sorry for your loss, it's absolutely gutting to wake up to an eerily quiet garden and find your feathered friends gone. You get so used to seeing them from your window, petting them, that their absence leaves a void that feels impossibly big. It's a pain that's both ridiculous and completely valid. For anyone who's ever had a chicken steal their heart, reading "Dolly left the coop yesterday, and our hearts feel strangely egg-shaped" might hit just the right note of shared sorrow.
Dookie's first purr is egg-cellent news for this under-arm snuggle bug
There's nothing quite like the first time your scaredy-cat chicken decides you're her personal, under-arm safety nest. Dookie's debut purr is egg-cellent news, and honestly, the fact that she chose the armpit as her prime snuggle real estate? That's a level of trust we should all aspire to. Sure, the video is a little shaky, filming without spooking a feathered friend who startles at her own shadow is a true sport, and we respect the hustle. She's clearly a professional at getting comfy, even if her human has to contort like a pretzel to capture it.
