The chickens are quiet as quiet things all week, but on sunday mornings all three shout as loud as they can. How do they know everyone is having a lie in?

It's their evil plan to make everyone so sleep deprived they can take over the world

 

Lol no I don't know why they do it. My girlies are fairly quiet everyday it is only if someone goes outside then it is the dawn chorus of chickens.

A world dominated by chickens - a weird thought. I wonder if it would be dinosaurs all over again or the modern types of chicken. A different set of priorities but they would definitely have lots of quangos and commitee meetings, and I think knitted goods would be very popular as I always think chickens would like to knit to while away those long brooding moments.

I wouldn't like to be a fox or a cat either.

I could imagine my girls who are sitting on duck eggs knitting scarfs for the little things.

 

Oh how the movie Chicken Run made so many peoples imaginations go wild.

 

And i think the cats and foxes would be terminated or should I say Chickenated.

How easy is it to identify with "Chicken Run" !! one of my favourite films ever

[Alis girls]

Strange how we all "humanise" our animals (there is a word for it but its early, Monday and my brain is still asleep) mine too knit and watch TV and drink cocoa.

Anthropomorphism - I could remember how it started so googled it. I did it yesterday when I cleaned them out. They were in the coop and it looked as though they were inspecting the quality of my work. If they could have carried clipboards they would have.

I was told you should never do it with dogs because of pack order and so on, but I think I'm pretty safe with the chickens.

I hope

[Guest]

Haha I could imagine my broody's inspecting their new cleaned area with clipboards to tick off how good it was.

 

I could also imagine mine sitting onto of their house with trays and me just putting treats on them. Like a dinner cue

[Lavenders_Blue]

My girls frequently inspect the quality of my work after a clean out. It makes me really quite paranoid

 

Whilst I was poo picking the (hen!) house this morning, Rosie came into the house, stood (in the way) and watched me, then exited when I had finished. Dorothy then climbed far enough up the ladder to poke her head in the door, have a good look round and then descend - with a look of 'well if that's the best you can manage, I suppose it will have to do'.

 

Am I really bestowing human qualities onto them that they don't have? Why else would they inspect my handiwork?!

[jennydavies]

Mine come up the ladder to the hen-house while I am cleaning and even though I think I do a really good job - I sometimes get a "bit of a look" and it makes you quite paranoid
