SharonX Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Hi, Dad visited at the week-end and rolled a cigarette out in the garden and had it snatched out of his hand by my . She ran round the garden with it with the others chasing her. Was very amusing to watch a chicken running round with a cigarette hanging out of her mouth but I was just very greatful it wasn't alight! She dropped it in a puddle gave it a peck & walked off so don't think she will become addicted Dad is now confined to the summer house to roll & smoke as I can't take the chance of a burn't beak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gamebird Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Perhaps she prefers tipped cigarettes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedusA Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 It's a shame you didn't video it. That would have been brilliant to watch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaP Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 That happened to us recently - my husband was sitting in a chair in the garden with a lit cigarette when Pansy slipped through under his chair and stole it from his hand She was so quick and I don't think I've ever seen him move quite so fast It did look funny momentarily but hopefully he'll be more careful in future - or give up Lisa P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Webmuppet Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Maybe they have formed a chickens against smoking group..........or is that they are up on the non smoking legislation and consider the garden as a place of work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chelsea Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 apparently tobacco is supposed to good at combatting worms in chickens. (dont take that as gospel though - not sure if its an old wives tale) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharonX Posted April 28, 2008 Author Share Posted April 28, 2008 Think if I could have video'd the 'original' would have been great, had Dad shouting "You little "Ooops, word censored!"" Mum (whose scared of them) running in the opposite direction, & me wetting myself Not sure this could be repeated but I'm sure they will be up to something else soon, will have to have the recorder on standby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
