maggiesfarm Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Had a bit of a shock when I got home from work today and opened the kitchen door. Andy, my husband, had gone to work and locked our BlacK Rock in the house Fortunately shed had stayed in the kitchen where we have a stone floor but she had been up on the worktops to get fruit and look at her sisters out in the snow. You can imagine what the floor was like ....... Anybody else done something like this ? PS There had better be a bottle of wine on it's way home with hubby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekarin Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Oh my goodness! I would love to have seen the look on her face. And I can imagine the 'conversation' through the window between the inside girl and the outside girls. "How did you get in there?" "How can I get out there?" etc etc I wouldn't have liked to clear up that mess. Definitely deserves at least a bottle of wine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raffik Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 That's funny. I bet she had a lovely day in the warmth! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 that is so funny! how long had she been inside? Sounds like something my OH would do! We currently have a chicken living in the kitchen (post op recovery), she was easy in the first week but is getting a little madam now so her time to go back out may soon be coming.

maggiesfarm Posted February 9, 2009 Author Share Posted February 9, 2009 She was probably there from about 9.30 til 4.30. I have to say she looked very happy and not at all distressed. She had managed to get at the blueberries and strawberries in the fruit bowl and pecked a couple of apples just for good measure. She had also completely cleaned the cat food bowls out. The cats seemed ok too, they were all asleep in the living room in front of the log burner, not at all disturbed by having a hen in the kitchen Needless to say, the others made a mad rush to get in while I was surveying the damage, hope this hasn't started something, I can just imagine them .....

Chook n Boo Mum Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I nearly choked on my Baileys! What a surprise, did she leave you an oval gift or had she already laid earlier? I bet Hubby got an earful when you got home...... Sa x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillfamily Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 you'll have started something now......they'll all want to come indoors for the day, eat cat food and enjoy a selection of fresh fruit for pudding Hope it didn't take you too long to clear up the mess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maggiesfarm Posted February 9, 2009 Author Share Posted February 9, 2009 The ladies are all locked up in their hut against the snow, very snoodly. Only took about an hour to clean up, had to throw the door mat away tho, there was no way that was going to come clean. And God knows what she has been doing with the rubber gloves but they've gone the same way as the carpet ..... And then, one of the *!!$% cats threw up on the clean floor! I'm now having my well deserved wine, Mags Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mostin Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Only just managed to breathe again after laughing for 10 mins over this thread.

Happy chickens! Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Oops!! Didn't OH clean up the mess for you?! Two of my girls follow me in sometimes if I'm not quick enough closing the door - will have to take great care. One has definitely been eyeing the cat flap up. I'm sure I'll find her stuck in it one day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLK69 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 something similiar happened to me - didn't notice kids had opened patio door, and we went out for the day. Came home to find chooks in the living room, having a tea party - you have to laugh. Could have been worse was all I could say to the much put upon husband.

LJ's Chooks Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Oh that is fabulous.... Our girls each paid a visit to the kitchen on saturday for wing clipping and bumper bits, I'm not sure they are that keen on our kitchen anymore!! something tells me the kids may think otherwise at some point as they loved cuddling them ... maybe it wasnt the best idea having seen this!
