chelsea Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 I think my chicken has a crush on me?! Let my girls out to free range tonight in the garden. Sam, (the naughty messy chicken - who I think really should be a "male" chicken) always follows me around the garden. Tonight she came right up close to my face and looked lovingly in my eyes for AGES and kept turning her head.....I was a little worried she might peck out my eyes hubby thinks she's obsessed with my long eye lashes...or she can see her own reflection they are funny things eh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debbie Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 OOOOOOHHHHHH how lovely, I'm very Jealous. Tell me is she a very large chicken or was you sitting on the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted September 21, 2006 Author Share Posted September 21, 2006 OOOOOOHHHHHH how lovely, I'm very Jealous. Tell me is she a very large chicken or was you sitting on the ground. LOL both chickens were on a waist height wall (within the garden) I was leaning on the wall and I had my head resting on my hands at eye level with the chickens !! my chickens are still quite young, but Sam (naughty chicken) is VERY tame. My eyes arent brown or yellow - so I wasnt mistaken for raisins or sweetcorn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chelsea Posted September 21, 2006 Author Share Posted September 21, 2006 Perhaps I should wear protective eye gear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel (& Paul) Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 why not - I think safety goggles would go lovely with most chicken owners normal attire - nightwear and wellies when we are popping out to see that they are tucked up safely, or poo covered trousers, old t-shirt and wellies or crocs the rest of the time give something for the neighbours to talk about!!

feemcg Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 I'm sitting laughing at Mel's comment about chicken owners usual attire - I spent most of yesterday out the back in pyjamas and crocs 'playing' with my chickens! I got dressed at 7pm cos I was going out! - and don't even mention the state of my house - housework and chicken ownership are definitely not compatible!

Im glad im not the only one!.. Do you forget yourself?...Im so caught up in my chickens,...on my mad dash out to the garden early this morning I ran straight from bed in my nightshirt to the eglu..forgetting that my garden is now quite exposed to neighbours since we cut some trees and foilage down and im not a pretty sight in the morning I can tell you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
