Flashback to the 80s

So way back when, my parents had a tan station wagon.  It had trouble making it up big hills without overheating and it was a really ugly color tan, but boy did we love sitting in the big open back.  One of my most vivid memories of that station wagon was going to a drive-in movie theater, sitting in the back with a bag of popcorn and watching Gremlins.  Now, I am not ashamed to admit that I was terrified of Spike and his clan, but that the bar scene with the Gremlins going crazy, swinging around on the fan, made us younger kids laugh. 

Last year with our broilers, I had a flashback to that movie.  At the time, it was a little too cold at night to release the layers and the broilers outside, which we had delivered within days of each other, yet they we getting a little older than we wanted in the coop.  For some reason, those batches of chickens were a crazy group.  They refused to stay in their pen and thankfully we could tell the difference between the birds based on their different feather color.  But when I walked by the coop and saw them making a ruckus in the chicken coop, I had to grab the camera and take some pictures.  They were EVERYWHERE, just like those Gremlins in that bar scene!  Needless to say, there was a lot to clean-up after we moved them outside!  Here are some pictures from then about 10 months ago. 

This year, with not having as many chickens coming onto the farm, we will get to miss out on this "fun" this summer!
