Talk about scrambled: According to the Daily Mail, when her owners saved hen Mabel from the chop, Mabel repaid the favor by keeping their pups warm. Hot dog!

eggcellent!

Pups cry fowl; declare: “This is a poultry excuse for a mother! The other dogs will call us a bunch of yolkeles.”

4 Heather 03.10.10 at 9:15 am

I am dying over the stubbular legs!!! Acccckkkk!!

5 Miss Tara 03.10.10 at 9:22 am

I worry about those pups growing up to be henpecked adults.

(@260Oakley – BEAUTIFUL! You’re even more cracked than I am! And that’s quite a feather in your cap.)

6 260Oakley 03.10.10 at 9:23 am

Further proof that puppies are chick magnets.

7 Rachael 03.10.10 at 9:27 am

260Oakley, please stop long enough for me to catch my breath. :D

Mabel is eggactly what those rotties needed.

That reminds me of one of my favorite breakfasts as a kid !
Scrambled eggs & sliced hot dogs ! YUM !!!!!

Does this qualify as “Farm Fresh Pups” ?

9 BStrange 03.10.10 at 9:28 am

Top right pup to top left pup: “Um, is it just me, or does this down comforter have legs?”

Top left pup: “waaaaarmmmm…. *ksznerk-shuuu… snaps blearily awake* Huh? Did you say something?”

10 Wend 03.10.10 at 9:41 am

In short, Rachael, might we call them a couple of “Rott”en eggs?

11 Calliope 03.10.10 at 10:00 am

(Second pic)
Man: “Hmm. Maybe I shouldn’t keep all my pups in one basket.”
Meanwhile, the pups look like they’re brooding about something.

12 DB 03.10.10 at 10:01 am

egg-cellent post it was totally un-egg-spected. But please stop the egg-scruciating barrage of puns, i b-egg of you. any more and you’ll get egg-secuted, and there will be much rejoicing with k-eggs. I honestly expected you r-egg-ulars to come up with some more eggs-otic material

13 kittyadventures 03.10.10 at 10:07 am

egg-semplary post.

14 Monica 03.10.10 at 10:07 am

Awwwwwwwwwwww look at the little puppies EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
I’m gonna steal them, and I will take momma chicken too =D.

15 Shadyman 03.10.10 at 10:07 am

asdfgh!!!

16 ant man bee 03.10.10 at 10:13 am

Judging by the way that guy is looking at the chicken in pic numero 2, I’m not sure her being saved from the chop is totally a done deal…

17 Berg 03.10.10 at 10:15 am

@ant man bee: I was thinking the same thing! He looks a little hungry…

Cute post, adorable puppehs!

18 doforanimals 03.10.10 at 10:15 am

Looks like mama’s got some ‘splaining to do…

19 ani 03.10.10 at 10:18 am

The guy’s pretty cute too!

20 Illise 03.10.10 at 10:43 am

thats so cute warm dogs are happy dogs lol

21 Camille 03.10.10 at 10:44 am

What happens when they hatch?

22 skippymom 03.10.10 at 10:47 am

Is that George Stephanopoulos’s brother?

23 metsakins 03.10.10 at 10:52 am

I guess that’s what hap -hens, w-hen you save a hen.

24 Paunchie 03.10.10 at 11:00 am

“mama’s got some splainin’ to do” <— good one :D

Guy is thinkin, I said make me an omelette, not a basket of puppies! And she's all wha??

25 Paunchie 03.10.10 at 11:03 am

PS there’s four of em. Click on the daily mail link for to see their little puppy schnozzles. Sweet.

26 BStrange 03.10.10 at 11:16 am

@Camille:

Depends what they hatch into! If it’s jackals, she’d better hope she can sing:

27 corianne 03.10.10 at 11:17 am

Somewhere, there’s a confused momma rottie who’s trying trying to nurse a bunch of eggs.

So cute! The easter egg hunt is going to be especially hard this year, the eggs won’t stay in one place!

28 Jess 03.10.10 at 11:19 am

I must agree with ant man bee. That guy is thinking of how he’s going to prepare Mabel.

29 Metz 03.10.10 at 11:28 am

Yet another example (nope, nawt gonna pun that one it’s been done over easy)
of what happens when you feed a chicken genetically modified feed.

The guy isn’t thinking about eating her, he’s thinking “Hmm, I *thought* that rooster was rather large.” (ducks –yeah yeah wrong bird so cry fowl!)

These guys should try out as a team for the Cadbury Eggs commercial. They’re sure to give the Bunny a run for his money.

Eggscuse me, anyone from Youlk`shire here…?…
This post is so eggscelent! It really made me eggstatic! And all the youlk`ers out there with all the puns and words, hillarious! Wish I could do it too, but I am no eggspert so I doubt if I have much to contribute with even though I eggscavate my brain…Hen-ce the lack of words…just felt the need to eggsplain myself to you guys…
…I almost felt my cholesterol went up with this post…hmm, why is that I wonder…My egg-zema flaired up also…am I allergic to something? It surely can not be because of this eggsquisite post…

31 Left da Building 03.10.10 at 11:46 am

Hmm, everyone seems a little uncomfortable with this situation except the owner, lost as he is in chicken bliss

32 natalie 03.10.10 at 11:52 am

I love it… the story says that the pup’s mom is out in the yard while the chicken babysits. probably a young mother, you know how they are *sigh* *eye roll* always wanting to go out and party while someone else watches the kids!

33 Marie 03.10.10 at 12:00 pm

Yes! *fist pumps* I was hoping you’d post this.

Just one thought: Couldn’t this sweet family find something a leee-tle more comfortable than bamboo for the pups to sleep on? Their hard puppeh noggins need cush.

(Busybody out!)

34 BStrange 03.10.10 at 12:06 pm

*drive-by linkage*

And the circle of life continues. Suppose this’ll be the puppies above, when they grow up?:

35 Emerson 03.10.10 at 12:08 pm

“Now you kids stay inside and just ignore those neighbor boys. You don’t want to turn out rowdy like them!”

“Sigh…okay, grandma. Whatever.”

36 Paunchie 03.10.10 at 12:16 pm

BStrange, that was super cute. :)

37 kittyadventures 03.10.10 at 12:21 pm

OMG Bstrange that is so funny and weird I love how the dog guards the chicken and then trys to keep it warm under her little head. sooo cute!

38 Deb! 03.10.10 at 12:21 pm

Chickens are so awesome!!!

39 cheshirekittehkat 03.10.10 at 12:48 pm

First puppeh: Maaaaahm!!! You said you were going out; but the baby-sitter is a little white Hen!!!
Second puppeh: It’s OK; she’s been here for awhile: she’s been keeping us nice and warm, just like a feather-bed comforter: but she’s the Real Thing……!

40 johnny 03.10.10 at 3:15 pm

santa monica, m**********r!!!

41 Gaz 03.10.10 at 6:26 pm

In just a few months, these little guys will be bawking at the moon.

42 victoreia 03.10.10 at 7:02 pm

Will they be hen-pecked when they grow up?

43 Teresa 03.10.10 at 8:17 pm

:lol: The hen is thinking to herself “These are strange looking chicks.” :lol: The pups are thinking to themselves “This is one strange looking dog.” :lol:

44 Draithy 03.10.10 at 9:06 pm

D’awww… wonder how long they have to incu-bark for?

45 Jose 03.10.10 at 9:19 pm

The massive amounts of puns and the second picture had me laughing all day xD

46 Hon Glad 03.10.10 at 9:47 pm

47 Freya 03.10.10 at 10:09 pm

Zeki definitely deserves a pullet-surprise for journalism. If Mabel just put a capon, she’d be the perfect avian superhero. She better hurry, though–the cluck is ticking…

48 Freya 03.10.10 at 10:11 pm

ps: the guy looks like Michael York’s brother, Egg York (barely even a rim shot)

49 Rachael 03.11.10 at 4:39 am

Interspecies love is the whole reason I’m here. A friend of mine kept sending me links of dogs mothering pigs and sheep nuzzling chickens and the like. She knew I would just melt away from the cute… and that’s how I happened upon CO. Yowza!!

50 bookmonstercats 03.11.10 at 8:19 am

The hen is safe. You can’t chop a chicken called Mabel.

It’s the law!!

*Sits back and folds arms*.

PS great puns, peeps.

If only people would take a lesson from animals and just care for others no matter the differences.
