[Tutti Frutti]

I went in to poo-pick and say night night to my girls.

 

One of them had POO'D in one of my rubber gloves

 

One of those runny mustard ones as well

 

I decided to poo-pick one-handed so lent over to pick up my one remaining clean rubber glove. As I stepped back, I realised the poo had also run along the front of the shelf (which, incidentally, they've never managed to fly up to before - thought my stuff was safe!!!) and there was now a nice mustardy brown horizontal stripe across the front of my fleece.

 

I've told those girls before - I dont do horizontal stripes

 

Mr F was asking why I was washing just one thing in the machine... hmm

[ubereglu]

Ooh, yum!

 

Molly escaped into next door's garden. Fortunately Nick found it funny as she was trying to climb up the lilac tree-she hasn't done it since though!

Three of my four used to get into the kitchen through the cat flap. I've invested in one of those that work on a microchip so that only the puss can get in and out

[Valkyrie]

Sneaked in while the door's open and poo in OH's slippers. Strangely they seem to target his slippers each time they have crept indoors while I've been outside - even bypassing Erin's and my spare ones. Of course they were praised - er - told off.

My naughty girls pulled out the silicon from my OH's new shed 2hrs after applying.

Thankfully we were around to save them from choking - lesson learned on our behalf.

Heaven knows what they thought it was?

Lola will take herself off for a wander down the street if she gets the chance. I've had people knocking on my door asking if thats my chicken down the road. Luckily she comes to call and will come running up the street when she sees me.

GGL- lucky you rescued the silicone from your chooks, my Flo ate a 4 inch long piece (thought it was a worm?)She was in the bird vets for a week and we nearly lost her, luckily the medicine he gave her made her poo it out in the end, this was how we knew what the problem was!

Very expensive mistake, we had taken apart an old shed!

[foreveryoung]

oooooo lets see-

 

They all come into my kitchen and eat the cat and dog food........

They savaged my veggie patch, and i mean savaged it within minuets..... one min its sitting full of potato plants (3 ft high), my courgettes, beans and cabbages - i was mortified

now 3 of them one in particular keeps jumping out and into the ivy and almost climbing out the run.......

Yesterday my Speckled Sussex climbed on to the pond. It does have a metal criss-cross grid on it - so she could never drown - but she did get a shock when she went skating on the ice. She wasn't getting anywhere and then when she finally got off the pond, she had a good look at her feet. It must have felt very strange.

 

My Desdemona has climbed up into my office to sit in front of the blowheater. She also ran into the house one day - we have no idea why - threw herself into my little girl's bedroom and flapped up on the bed.

Not happy with wrecking our garden, the girls once ventured next door to my neighbours beautiful garden a run for its money. It is pristine (or was) before the resident escape artist Dolly kicked half a flowerbed of soil all over the lawn.

 

It looked BAD and I didnt know what do to so... I jumped over and got her, blocked the hole they were using and hoped he wouldn't notice

 

He has never mentioned it so I think the naughty girls got away with it!!

Dandelion and Joy disappeared on me one Sunday lunchtime a couple of months after arrival. Having been round every neighbour, there was no sign and I was getting really worried, until one neighbour rang me to say he could see them in another garden. That garden belonged to the only people that were out that day and I could neither get in it nor get my naughty girls out - they both looked at me as I called them and shook the corn box, and then looked away .

 

Eventually they came back at bed-time and I left a note and a box of eggs for the garden owners, as I couldn't see how much damage they might have done. They rang me laughing about it and thanking me for the eggs, and they've sent a xmas card to the girls ever since!

My youngest son's hen (sadly deceased), was always broody. One time, when I unceremoniously dumped her on the lawn, she made her way to my greenhouse and systematically pulled out my sweet pea seedlings. Belinda was a vengeful chicken.

This morning Eliza, Primrose (it's always those two at the head of affairs), Pancake, Valerie, Robin, Egeltine and Juliet all took advantage of my kids leaving the garage door open when they got their bikes out to go for a wander in the front garden Never before have so many escaped!

[dippy bird]

well apart from having absolutely no garden left, the worst thing (but funniest) was to come into the house while my mum was eating her sunday lunch(on a tray) and the chook jumped up,knicked a yorkshire pudding off her plate and legged it back down the garden!

Needless to say,my mum didn't want it back..
