keyhole kate Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Today at work I was eyeing up a skip full of paving slabs when a lady I occasionally say good morning to in passing remarked on the skip too. I said I was interested in some of the unbroken slabs for my WIR OH is planning for my chickens she said without batting an eyelid "you keep chickens? now why does that not surprise me" For once I was speechless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 I know exactly how you feel - I get that all the time You feel like asking.. 'and what exactly do you mean by that?' but you just smile to yourself and feel glad to look like you keep chickens. P.S.

Olly Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 I'd take that as a compliment! Us chicken-keepers are a special breed. I had to go back to the place where I bought my woodburning stove recently, now it's a year since I had it fitted and I didn't expect the man to remember me without prompting, but I mentioned the address and then he said 'Oh, you're the one with the chickens!'

Gem_Seb Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 People always sound surprised when they hear i have chickens as well!! i think people forget you dont have to own a farm to keep them!! Our accountant in work heard i had some and asked me why i have them and if i was brought up on a farm or something! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
