craftyhunnypie Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Why do chickens love the wind blowing through their fluffy knickers? They are all stood mesmerized & in trances, necks stretched & knickers bellowing! I soon snapped them out of their trances for boiled rice & some sweetcorn though!

chelsea Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 my lot dont like the wind... they've spent some time in the garage (by their beloved sack of corn) or in the kitchen on the doormat. I do love to see windy knickers tho!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 It makes me laugh to watch mine in windy weather - they jump when a gust hits their knickers, like someone has goosed them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jules. Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 I felt really guilty last night as I hadn't shut the eglu door, so I did so at 5am- I was worried about all the wind & rain. I let them out at 7.30 before I went to work & they were not happy- they bawked very loudly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janty Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Mum-in-law loves watching the wind as it hits my cochins and brahmas feathery bottoms. if you ask her though, she will tell you that she prefers the hybrids and chickens with bare legs. I think that she's in denial. Cochins and brahmas rule! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janty Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 I have ordered a mottled cochin and a cuckoo cochin for the spring. Can't wait to collect them. Next year when my lovely boy brahmas (you may remember that they had to be rehomed as we originally bought them as girls) get into the swing of this stud lark, I will be collecting one of their little daughters. What could I call the child of either Posh Spice or baby Spice? Mmmm..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't Nobody Here Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 My Maisie got caught in a gust at the w/e and looked so funny, sidestepping halfway across the garden. ES and I just had to recreate the moment for YS and OH (he was the wind, I was Maisie ) and yes, we got . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted January 8, 2008 Author Share Posted January 8, 2008 The wind has been too much for them today and they have sheltered a lot in the eglu, each venturing out for food, treats & a nosy.
