patsylabrador Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 For the last few days the chickens have seemed to say hello when they come out of their coop in the morning and then come over and gently natter. It's just like a little chat and very sweet, then they eat their breakfast - or have I just totally lost it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plum Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 I just love that mumbling. So much nicer than the demanding squarks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docsquid Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Mine say hello every morning, one by one, as they gracefully descend the cube ladder (well, not so gracefully in the case of Megan!). They are very polite. I love it when they talk and they are definitely saying "thank you"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura & CTB Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 My Tiffany always follows me into the utility room for a quick natter, we have a chat about what we've been up to during the day. So no - you've not lost it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenopolis Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Ours girls chat away when they are let out of the run. They almost purr as well. We have a talk about what they are up to, what the weather is doing and what they have done during the day - I can carry this conversation on with them right up to the backdoor. No, you certainly haven't lost it - you have just made your life better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mabelandflosmum Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 I love chatting to my chickens, they always answer with polite little noises no matter what I say to them! I love the noise they make when they are dustbathing, a totally contented purr! And the funny bok bok noise they make when they need to lay an egg and I am being too slow cleaning out the nest box. Chickens are the best! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gelbel Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Well after yesterday's feeling guilty; mine FR all day. I went out about 15:45 to lock them in the run to wind down before bed and Rita came running full pelt at me. One hand palm down in the air from me, one spectatcular crouch from Rita and she's up for a 5 minute cuddle where she snuggles right down (a first) and gave happy little clucks. She even gave a bit of a more animated cluck when I walked down the garden to show her, her 'Dad' who was doing some washing up and watching us out of the kitchen window. Just makes it all worthwhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doing washing up........??????????? I know - he did a bit of dusting too today and, after I cleaned the downstairs mirrors, cleaned the upstairs ones. I think he's after something or has done something very bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
