Single hen

[Guns N' Roses forever]

...-stand at your kitchen window with a pair of binoculars watching what they are up to and laughing at everything they do.

 

Lets see if we can add to this list. Please try and come up with more ideas. I would really like to see what people could put down.

When you're doing your homework and looking out the window, but then get distracted and see that one of your hens' tail feathers are blowing everywhere and then you drop your homework on the floor and cuddle her!!!

[Cinnamon]

I just did this -

 

You know you are chicken obsessed when you drive through town,see a pile of chips that someone has spilt on the ground,& think how much the Chickens would like to eat them

 

Or - when you add an extra handful or pasta/peas/sweetcorn to the dish knowing that the little eager beaks will polish off the leftovers in the morning.

 

Or - when you feel the need to tell everyone,even the supermarket checkout girl,that you keep chickens!

[ali-s]

........... take a day off work to do some Christmas shopping, and you spend an hour searching pet shops for a tub of dried Mealworms for the chickens Christmas present

 

I even know which wrapping paper I will be using and which shiny bow will be going on the top

[The Dogmother]

When the first thing you do every morning is put on your dressing gown and wellies and race down the garden to let them out.

I do that

 

Or send everybody Omlet chicken christmas cards.

 

Or have chicken decs on the christmas tree.

[Snowy]

must have a plate or mug because it has a chicken design on it.

Must have anything with a chicken on it, even if you are never going to use it

[Snowy]

you start paying more attention to them than the family.

I have a confession.... the last 2 posts WERE NOT ME!

 

My 15 year old son thinks I'm obsessed with chickens (he's Guns'n'roses forever - see 1st post) so started this off, and he added the last 2 posts in my name!!

 

He's now banned from the computer

 

(I don't think I'm as bad as he makes out!! )

[Popcorn]

Do you think he's protesting snowy. Dropping subtle hints maybe...!

[The Dogmother]

Guess who's cooking his own supper tonight...

[Snowy]

He's forgiven - I've got to admit it was a good idea for a post!

He wants to know how other kids are suffering from their parents chicken obsessions -

[cabbagepatch]

Every day I have to announce to everyone how many eggs the girls have laid.....

 

I go to the greengrocers and ask if they have any leftover greens for the girls and forget to buy anything for us.

Oh my!!! I do this all the time!!!

 

Just last week, the check out lady asked how the girls were doing!!!

I do that too and don't forget the "Chickens!" shout whenever you pass chickens in a garden or field when you're out in the car (or on public transport !).

[Laura & CTB]

Or sending people you hardly know Christmas cards so as you can mention your chickens and add a couple of feathers!

[Chicken Licken]

Get left messages by visitors when out at work - like 'no grapes for the girls today so I have given them lettuce as a treat instead' (they don't like lettuce!!)

 

Or

dog begins to whine incessantly as she knows she is really the no 1 girl and feels neglected because of the attention the chooks get

[Paola]

must have a plate or mug because it has a chicken design on it.

 

I thought that this post was not written in your style

 

OH has said that I pay more attention to the chooks then I do him

[Charlottechicken]

I didn't think I had a chicken obsession but now realise I have written "I bought some chickens this year" in some of my Christmas cards!

 

[Chicken Licken]

I have signed some of the christmas cards from myself, Rosie (dog), Clara and Fenni (Chicks) - is this tragic? I did stop myself from drawing chicke pictures alongside the dog paw print that goes fo her signature!!

[Mrs Frugal]

I sometimes draw chicken footprints next to their names !

 

Oh goodness, confession time. When we put down the concrete flooring in the conservatory, we all wrote our names. I wrote, Kate, Jenny, Clarry and Izzy with little starfish footprints !

[theherd123]

We did that too Kate - in more than one spot!!!

Kitchen twice and in the lounge by the door

[Christian]

I didnt think i did ( ) until all my Christmas cards were addressed to me, OH and 'the girls' !!!!
