OK..I'm thinking for a border...(I know..I know...thinking ahead a bit aren't I??)..anyway..I am going to start like in the left hand upper corner and put..."The Rooster Rules the Roost"....then in the lower right hand corner..I'll put..."But the Hen Rules the Rooster".... Now..I'd like to have another saying to put opposite each other (maybe) on the 2 sides...anyone think of any other than "don't count your chickens before they hatch??"

Here's a link I found with some cute stuff about chickens.

What's the difference between being involved and being committed?
At a bacon and egg breakfastm the hen is involved, but the hog committed!

Someone here on the forum has a wonderful saying

"If you can't fly as high as you'd like

Fly as high as you can!!! Sounds to me like something a

Momma chicken might say to her chicks.
