Video Experiment # 49 – A little bit of a foot stomper… This came out of nowhere and was done pretty quick. (Even quick, these dang things take 4-5 hours to put together!)

Don’t touch my chickens
Hey there Fox don’t touch my chickens
Leave my chicks alone
Wipe that sly look off your face
And find your way back home
Don’t come round my hen house
Leave them chicks alone
Ain’t nobody likes your kind
Find your way back home

Hey there Fox don’t touch my chickens
Leave my chicks alone
Wipe that sly look off your face
And find your way back home
Go find yourself a mouse or mole
Or chew some clover sweet
Don’t come round my hen house
My hens won’t be your treat

My Chickens in my backyard. I rear chickens in my backyard in Alor Setar, Kedah. They are a mix of ayam serama and ayam kapan. It’s hard to get a high grade serama, and I don’t discriminate any of them as I love them unconditionally.

Michael C. Ford is the first poet to record at the Hen House. He has recited his poems with music accompaniment on two different projects thus far. The first had John Densmore, a Hen House veteran, drumming while Ford read a poem about the history of the American drummer. Ford has a wonderfully expressive voice and a great delivery. His writing is intelligent and very witty. Ford often draws from history and politics as subject matter. Ford’s work was recognized in 1998 when he was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize and in 1986 when he was nominated for a Grammy. His latest project at The Hen House has him reciting one of his poems with a full band. Also, check out Ford’s poetry on the poetry/lyrics page.-Hen House Studios is a record label and documentary film company in Venice, California.

MaximsNewsNetwork: 03 November 2009 – World Bank: Despite recent conflict in Georgia, the country is pushing ahead with its plans to expand food production. The agricultural sector remains well below its potential, but the World Bank is helping Georgia’s government finance lines of credit so farmers and agricultural producers can grow their businesses.
Twice a day trucks from this chicken farm roar off to the capital, delivering 36,000 eggs to neighborhood shops and supermarkets.
Computers regulate the lives of the thousands of hens living and laying here. They control air temperature, feeding times and egg gathering.
These state-of-the-art henhouses were funded through credit lines provided to the Georgian government with support from the World Bank. Selected commercial banks disbursed the money that helped this business, among others, get off the ground.
. SOUNDBITE (Georgian) Tamaz Edisherashvili General Director, Poultry Raising Factory of Kumisi:
We used the line of credit from the World Bank to renovate two henhouses as well as the feedlot.
Demand for eggs in Georgia exceeds supply; in a few months the company will almost double the number of eggs it collects daily.
Employee numbers will increase from 100 to 130—a boon for neighboring villages hard hit by the collapse of big agriculture a decade ago.
When demand is lower, they exports eggs to Iraq.
Chicks are bought abroad and raised until they are old enough to lay eggs. The owners dream to one day hatch their own chicks, and also to process chicken meat.
SOUNDBITE (Georgian) Tamaz Edisherashvili General Director, Poultry Raising Factory of Kumisi:
The potential of our factory is big. We plan to become a giant agricultural company.
Elguja Nozadze also has big dreams. His company processes poultry—two thousand five hundred kilos a day.
Slaughtering is done by hand. Teams of women dunk chickens in boiling water then pluck them in this one room–a tedious, hot process.
With the twin crises of the financial meltdown and last summers war with Russia—credit became hard to find.
But Elgujas assembly line is ready. As soon as one last crucial piece of equipment arrives, chickens will be processed mechanically.
SOUNDBITE (Georgian) Elguja Nozadze, Director General, Nozadze-Gantiadi Individual Enterprise:
The World Bank credit helped us expand our family business. And it came just in time so we wouldnt have to stop production.
Tsira Khabelashili lives in the neighboring village. She is on the job caring for chicks six days a week. The only breadwinner in her family, she supports five people on her salary. She says mechanization is a good thing, not a threat.
SOUNDBITE (Georgian) Tsira Khabelashvili, Poultry Worker:
Were not expecting any jobs to be cut. Just because there is new equipment doesnt mean there are fewer workers.
In fact, Elguja says be able to employ more people soon. Domestic demand for chicken is so high he has no need to export. But his new equipment is certified for the European Union, so be ready to supply Europe when the time comes.

For some reason, Toby was spooked when Denny peeked around a door. Denny, of course, could not resist playing into this.
At one point in the video, Denny acted like he was attacking my leg. Toby lunged at him pretty fiercely. He’s always been rather protective of me, but we’d never seen him quite like this.
Toby was not harmed at all in the making of this video. However, Denny experienced an accelerated heartbeat.
The song is from the musical, Cats.
Growltiger was a bravo cat who traveled on a barge
In fact he was the roughest cat that ever roamed at large
From Gravesend up to Oxford he pursued his evil aims
Rejoicing in his title of
GROWLTIGER:
The “Terror of the Thames”! Ha ha ha ha!
GRUMBUSKIN:
His manners and appearance did not calculate to please
His coat was torn and seedy, it was baggy at the knees
One ear was somewhat missing, no need to tell you why
And he scowled upon a hostile world from one forbidding eye
CHORUS:
The cottagers of Rotherhithe knew something of his fame
At Hammersmith and Putney, people shuddered at his name
They would fortify the hen house, lock up the silly goose
When the rumor ran along the shore:
GROWLTIGER:
Growltiger’s on the loose! Ha ha ha ha!
SOLOS:
Woe to the weak canary that fluttered from its cage
Woe to the pampered Pekingese, that faced Growltiger’s rage
Woe the bristly bandicoot that lurks on foreign ships
And woe to any cat with whom Growltiger came to grips
But most to cats of foreign race his hatred had been vowed
To cats of foreign name and race, no quarter was allowed
The Persian and the Siamese regarded him with fear
Because it was a Siamese had mauled his missing ear
