I did, too! Never knew anyone who had a laugh like hers. I can picture her wearing her feather boa (oh, NOT chicken feathers, I hope), with that cigarette holder in her hand. She was never the same after her husband died.
REALLY love the chickens! I can't imagine doing that with my cat unless I was wearing really thick gloves up to my shoulders.
What I enjoy more than anything is how down-to-earth Joyce is.
Hey Robin, as am I. Joyce and Heather keep my head from exploding. I grew up with chickens but not as pets, now just cats 3. Pray all is well with you.
HO my God you are right. Anyway, I treat my once homeless cats like that. They are spoiled even the feral one I took in a year ago. He likes me he just has difficulty showing it.
Love you, Joyce! Thanks for sharing snippets of your “normal life”. You are truly a remarkable person and I look forward to anything with “Joyce Vance” attached to it.
Joyce, that is wonderful! She is in 7th heaven - luckiest chicken alive. Good luck to you in this storm and again, thank you for helping others keep the faith in trying times.
I just love your chickens, dog and cat features, and of course your discourse. Thank you for doing this for us. Keeping us out here up-to-date on the legal trails of Trump. I do so hope that the courts will prevail but I'm scared they won't be enough. Be let us hope. Sigh.
This is awesome, Joyce. It's like the Universe is making sure that, with all your legal brilliance and insight, you are being reminded that, after all, we are all servants to something. Pumpkin chose you for this and you picked her as your anchor to what's real in life - love.
Obviously she's a critic too! Does she demand two mirrors so she can see the back style? My daughter had a Barred Rock rooster named Charlie. He was her 4-H show chicken and he too loved being bathed and groomed - very un-chicken-like. He also loved crowds of admirers at the livestock shows. He knew his routine perfectly. Strut (as only a chicken can strut) down the table; stop pose; wait for the applause with head held high. Turn, strut back along the table, repeat pose. I was always surprised that he didn't give his rooster crow, maybe he thought it was beneath his dignity.
What kind of crown would they put on the beauty queen's head? I can certainly understand why roosters wouldn't win any crown on their heads because there'd be no room.
Actually there is a breed called Polish Crowned mostly black but with a shaft of what looks like hair - pure white growing from the beak and flowing back over their heads like a pompador
WOW! I didn't know that. Going to Google that when I finish reading all of these comments. They made my day. Really needed Joyce's wonderful email today.
My husband's aunt and uncle raised Guinea hens on their farm. They were like watch dogs. Whenever we'd visit, they'd hear our car coming down the long dirt road and we could hear them fussing before we even saw their house yet.
My daughter had about 6 Guinea hens too. Not only are they noisy they can be quite aggressive too. Not as bad as geese and wild turkeys, the Guinea's never draw blood.
Pumpkin looks like Phyllis Diller
She does. Loved Phyllis Diller.
I did, too! Never knew anyone who had a laugh like hers. I can picture her wearing her feather boa (oh, NOT chicken feathers, I hope), with that cigarette holder in her hand. She was never the same after her husband died.

And Fang!
Eleanor Duffield of Virginia? This is Robin Weiss Baxter! I’m a super fan of Ms. Vance, of chickens, and also of teachers!!
Hey Robin, as am I. Joyce and Heather keep my head from exploding. I grew up with chickens but not as pets, now just cats 3. Pray all is well with you.
Videos of your chickens make my day.♥️. Thank you so much!!
HO my God you are right. Anyway, I treat my once homeless cats like that. They are spoiled even the feral one I took in a year ago. He likes me he just has difficulty showing it.
She does!
10/10...👍👍👍👍
She absolutely DOES! She is gorgeous. But then I'm a big fan of BIRDS - all kinds.
Very sweet!
Omg yes, thank you!! I thought she looked familiar but I couldn't recall her name. Absolutely Phyllis Diller.
🤣🤣🤣🤣👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I love your friendliness and including us as friends in your chicken life. It makes me smile. Thank you
We get to be grounded vicariously by the chicken and the chic with the blow dryer! It works for me!! Cats, too--that works to ground me too.
Love you, Joyce! Thanks for sharing snippets of your “normal life”. You are truly a remarkable person and I look forward to anything with “Joyce Vance” attached to it.
Likewise, Susan..
I second this sentiment -- with gusto.
Chicken beauty salon. Who knew?
Yes, I had no idea that chickens had spa days!
Joyce, that is wonderful! She is in 7th heaven - luckiest chicken alive. Good luck to you in this storm and again, thank you for helping others keep the faith in trying times.
Pumpkin is all girl, loving her spa treatment! Thank you for the joy.

I agree Sylvia and have the same fear(s) as you ..
Pumpkin and her personal "hair" stylist...does she tip?
This is awesome, Joyce. It's like the Universe is making sure that, with all your legal brilliance and insight, you are being reminded that, after all, we are all servants to something. Pumpkin chose you for this and you picked her as your anchor to what's real in life - love.
Stay safe. Pumpkin is adorable! Makes me smile watching her enjoying the chicken beauty salon!
I NEED a pet like Pumpkin. What a darling.
How often does she have her nails done?
What a stunningly beautiful creature!
Once again, Joyce, you warmed my heart in these cold, cold times.

Wishing you better weather.

In your spare time you can open up a salon for chickens. Pumpkin looks like she is enjoying it. Have a good night.
WHAT spare time?! LOL
Can I come back as one of your chickens
She knows a good thing.
