buffie Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Why is it that I go to have a shower and the gilrs all make their alarm call I rush down in towel and they are looking skyward and nothings there! I've told them not to cry fox Why is it that I always think 'bless them they can stay out until I'm ready to go outl when I know I won't be able to catch Buff and will get covered in mud as it always starts to drizzle as I leave! You'd think I'd have learnt by know. BBx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheilaz Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 True, Grd. I know what you mean, Buffie, they really choose their moments. The call I really find odd is when one is stranded & can't find the others. I've no idea how long they crow for if I don't go & help. This morning, Chuckles was on her own crowing in the middle of the lawn, not another chook in sight, obviously asking the others to show themselves. (I've learnt a lot of chicken vocabulary now) Well, not a single face appeared. Of course, I was dreading piles of feathers & a lone escapee. But no, when they heard the garage door open, 5 more hens appeared from their hiding places, grinning all over their faces. Poor Chuckles, she's the biggest, & visitors are often scared of her, but she's low in the pecking order, and the one I have a soft spot for. She really doesn't like playing hide & seek or squashed sardines. Reminded me of older siblings hiding for too long, and waiting until little sis was reduced to tears of panic before coming out. Come to think of it, teatime was the only thing that brought them out. Same thing really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Rosie used to do that when she was a baby Buffster, she'd be fast asleep, so I'd decide to have a shower (or something like that) and she'd start bawling And I don't mean just crying, I mean the snot running down the face and gagging type of crying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellcat Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 I think they train them to do that in some kind of baby school, Clare. 'Wait until mummys busy, then start howling. See how they run! You have to. Its the law'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Hi Helen, how's stuff with you? I can ignore other screaming babies, but never my own - it's some biological mummy thing isn't it?

The Dogmother Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 It's what keeps the human race going grd - that need for women to reproduce. Better not mention it to the missus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that what you told the missus? It's ok, you're safe; you can only get preggers sitting on a chair. Or is it a toilet seat? I remember a school friend telling me that one when we were about 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
