KimmyCustard Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 When you havent actually got chickens yet but you go the long way round to Asda, just so you can crane your neck to see over a hedge to look at 10 chooks free ranging in a field - and then make your Mum do it even when youre not there, in Cornwall!

girlsmum Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 you know youve got chickens.... when you find yourself squatting down behind the eglu waiting to shut the door cos they came out to see what you were doing (walking up the garden at dusk when they had gone to bed already.) my neighbours must think im mad - they are probably right Girlsmum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A chickychickychick-ENN!! Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 And you know you have chickens when you start taking photos of poo. You do?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A chickychickychick-ENN!! Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 You find yourself saying 'bok bok bok bok' - as you do to the chickens when you feed them - at random points of the day when you're thinking about them. Your partner finds himself saying 'bok bok bok bok' at random times of the day when he doesn't even feed them OR think about them too much! You have stopped buying crockery which doesn't come with a hen on it. The Omlet forum is saved as your homepage on the interweb. You feel a contentment and whooptastic inner joy you know you only share with a teeny percentage of the population and you're proud of it. You find yourself saying 'CHEEK-ONS!!!' like a five year-old randomly throughout the day because the thought of them makes you happy. You 'chicken spot' on car journeys like some people do with cars. Five points for a Buff Orpington, three for a Maran-type thing. You find yourself coveting various galvanised feeders and drinkers and admiring the economy of their designs. You are over-excited when you find a worm because you know it will make the chickens happy... You then have a guilt attack because you are a bit freakishly keen about oligochaetology (worm studies). I LOVE this thread Plum! Excellent topic! And I've-just-spittle-sprayed-on-my-screen funny answers galore!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 OH had a nightmare that we would have to let one of our girls go. Apparently the person who came to collect her hadn't done her homework and didn't even have a chicken house or other hens to be with - he got all upset. So today he actually went and gave her a cuddle (Cheyenne) - he never did that with our other pets! He's got chickens! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't Nobody Here Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 ... when you spy a kind of box thingy beside a skip and spend days thinking "I wonder if I could make that into a spare nestbox " (and thence get more chickens ) . Sadly, it disappeared before I came to a conclusion . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
