docsquid Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 It has struck me that chickens seem to have a very high tendency to get very excited very quickly. Our chickens' day seems to go a bit like this. I'm very excited - I woke up! I'm very excited - I ate some chicken food! I'm very excited - my hooman chicken-feeder type person woke up! I'm very excited - my hoomans came downstairs! I'm very excited - my hoomans opened the fridge! I'm very excited - I can see my hoomans at the window! I'm very excited - My hoomans let me out of the run! I'm very excited - I/my sister found a snail/worm/blade of grass! I'm very excited - My hoomans have given me some snails/grapes/mealworms/bits of cereal! I'm very excited - My hoomans are walking back and forwards in the garden/cleaning the cube/doing gardening! I'm very excited - I'm going into the cube to lay an egg I'm very excited - I LAID AN EGG!!!!! I LAID AN EGG!!!!! I LAID AN EGG!!!!! I SAY I LAID AN EGG!!!!! I'm very excited - My sister laid an EGG! I'm very excited - I'm going back into the run again! I'm very excited - I'm going to bed! Does anybody have a placid chicken who doesn't get over-excited at the slightest movement in the house, or in the garden, or indeed anything and everything that goes on anywhere?

Alis girls Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 They are very quiet my girls but they do shoot out the run for a forage round the garden - i don't even get a squawk when they lay an egg. I make more noise announcing the eggs On a different subject I swear blind someone has a peacock in their garden (this being NW London - 3 bedroomed semis at the most) unless there is a bird which makes a similar noise. I mean why a peacock. Look nice but in a surbuban garden - not sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad was always threatening to stick it in a sack and dump it somewhere, a long way from him and his home. But then it vanished anyway. Hmmmmmm.
