Sunrise on the Farm: A Donkey’s Day of TikTok-Famous Chores
There’s something magical about the first light spilling across the pasture, but here at Boggs Funny Farm, sunrise isn’t quiet—it’s showtime. And no one knows that better than Henry the donkey, our four-legged star who has somehow turned farm chores into his own TikTok series.
The day starts with his dramatic entrance. While the chickens burst out of the coop flapping like feathered fireworks, Henry ambles over with the swagger of a celebrity late to set. He brays loud enough to wake the entire county, demanding his breakfast as though he’s both the director and the talent.
Of course, feeding time is never just feeding time. Henry has perfected the art of photobombing. Try filming the hens, and suddenly his big nose is in the frame, ears twitching, eyes sparkling like, “You’re welcome, fans.” If there’s a bucket in my hand, he’s convinced it belongs to him. If I turn my back for one second, he’s halfway across the fence line, “helping” with chores by making them ten times harder.
Once the breakfast chaos settles, Henry takes his role as farm assistant very seriously… in his own way. If I’m hauling hay, he’s right there tugging at the bale. If I’m fixing a fence, he’s testing my work by giving it a good nudge. And if I’m trying to clean stalls, well, Henry thinks that’s the perfect time to lean against me like a 400-pound toddler looking for cuddles.
But here’s the kicker: the camera loves him. The moments I think will never make sense—Henry braying at the feed bucket, stealing a chicken’s spotlight, or standing proudly with hay hanging from his mouth—are the exact clips that blow up online. While the rest of us are sweating through the morning chores, Henry is casually building his brand as the farm’s biggest star.
By the time the sun is high, the chickens are gossiping, the goats are plotting, and I’m already tired. But Henry? He’s just getting warmed up, basking in his own TikTok glory, completely unaware that he’s supposed to be working, not just performing.
When evening chores roll around, the cycle repeats. Henry brays for dinner like he hasn’t eaten since last year, nudges the camera one last time, and then settles in with the smug satisfaction of a job well done—because in his mind, making people laugh is the work.
So yes, sunrise on the farm might look like chores, mud, and hard work, but through Henry’s lens, it’s pure comedy gold. And maybe that’s the real magic: in between the buckets and bales, we get a daily reminder that laughter belongs on the farm just as much as it does on stage or screen.
After all, every farm has chores—but only ours has a TikTok-famous donkey determined to make them unforgettable.
