Guest Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Les Dennis is on Alan Titchmarsh just now and I was remembering when he was on celebrity Big Brother a few years ago and he used to talk to the chickens that they had in the garden. I remember thinking at the time, what an idiot, fancy talking to chickens! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dancing cloud Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Absolutely not! Wouldn't catch anyone on this forum doing that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fizzle Knit Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 In his case the chickens probably provided the most intelligent source of conversation he was going to get in the BB house. I tend to talk to my chickens like they were 2 or 3 years old (humans, not hens); I love it when they talk back with that gentle little clucking noise they make Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 I find that I get far more sense out of the chickens than anyone else. Rosie just grunts into her cornflakes first thing in the morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 it's very therapeutic I think. Les Dennis often says it kept him sane while he was in the house Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dancing cloud Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 And if you don't talk to them, how do you say thank you for the eggs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph101 Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 I was in the garden a couple of days ago, not only talking to them in my language (English, that is) but also, mimicking theirs, you know, copying their little bok bok sentences; I looked up, because I had the feeling I was being watched, and my next door neighbour was peering through his bathroom window at me....
