You know you're a real chicken-keeper when...

Oooh'er brings a whole new meaning to chickened bits - er no nighties here :D

 

Hmmm but i was in the garden at 3am, naked except for wearing hubbies wellies & a barbour jacket ( waay too small one too ) imagining a fox was yelping & shrieking around the cube.

Thankfully it had gone & cube was fine & chickens quiet

so glad we didnt get those sensor spotlights :D

Bet you do.......

 

My alarm clock goes off at 7.15am, dressing gown on, into garden, open eglu and put out feed. It's only then I get dressed and sort the kids out for school. Not so great on windy days though.......!!!!!!

Yep, me too! I can be out there any time after 6am ... dressingown, pink gardening clogs, socks .... you know the look?! .... It's building up quite a gruesome picture, isn't it :wink:

 

And yes, my girls always get sorted out before any other members of the family :lol:

I think the dressing-gown/ crocs combo is a definite trend - my crocs are turquoise which is probably a bit racy for suburban Cheshire but hey...... and I too sort out the chickens before my kids have a hope of breakfast. Should I feel guilty??? :oops:

Anyone else find that the chooks have been effortlessly added to the 'things a busy mum does before school' list?

 

For me, it's dump children in front of tv with cup of milk; don bright pink clogs with dressing gown to let out chooks/do bins (on Friday), back in (wash hands :lol: ) make breakfast for children, zap micro porridge for me, empty dishwasher, make packed lunches for ds1 and dh, check school bag, eat my by now lukewarm porridge, find clothes for children. At this point, dh emerges eats breakfast, waves flannel and toothbrush at children then leaves for work while I start the 'hurry up' shouting crescendo....

My OH claims I wouldn't let him do the chickens in the morning anyway - he leaves the house before anybody is up so yes, I too do chickens, breakfast for 4 kids, snacks, dog, bags, coats, dinner money, ask a million questions like "have you go your piano bag/ football kit/ art homework?" before I have even put my porridge in the microwave. I am knackered by the time I get to work. And OH wonders why I give him a hard stare when he "forgets" to do something in the morning as he "has too many other things to think about" :?
