Can they tell the time???

Recommended Posts

I wondered as after doing the weekly run/cube maintaince yesterday, they just wouldn't settle... all were pacing by the run door and sqwarking at the top of their voices!!!!

 

I looked at the clock and it was 3pm, mash time during the week when I get home from work :shock: Do you think they know the time???

Yes! You could almost set the clock by my 3 knocking on the back door for their rations! :roll: It's not the same time everyday, but it is about 1 hour before dusk.

 

And if they don't get the result they want, they work their way round to the next window or door & try there..... :shock: even if it means climbing up on a bench & reaching over to a window in my craft cupboard - where it's far too cold at the mo, so I wouldn't be found there anyway :? - they then moved on to the patio doors..... :roll:

Definitely.........we have a flyby at 3.30pm daily :lol:

Epsibarb (teatime spokeshen) flys up on the fence between garden and patio so she can peek into the kitchen to check if we are preparing treats and if she can't see us, she jumps down on the patio squalking "Come on, come on, get a move on!" :roll:

Mine lot have one of these clocks (the one behind the alarm clock) in their walk in run, I have it so I can tell the time when I'm outside in the garden, well that's what I told my DH it was for! So I am sure they have now learnt to tell what time treat time is!!

Not only can chickens tell the time, but I am convinced my dog can count. He loves pizza crusts and my sons tend to leave their's for him (as he is very old and mollycoddled). If only one child has had one of those single pizzas he contents himself with 4 crusts; if 2 have had them, then he is not happy unless he gets 8. (If my daughter also has one, he knows it is still 8 as she is eating like pacman just now :P:P !
