Jools Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 When the lady behind the counter at the village shop asks about your chickens before any other family members. When your husband gets mugged when he arrives at the pub ..... for eggs. When you start eyeing up things in shops, wondering if the chickens would like that.

bouldercroft Posted April 12, 2011 Author Share Posted April 12, 2011 ...you hand pick all the berries off your holly bush after you catch your chickens eating them like candy and the following nights sleep is interrupted with worries of sick chickens silly girls - aren't they supposed to know better??

The Dogmother Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Don't worry, they usually leave anything harmful well alone. Things which are poisonous to us aren't as harmful to them due to their different digestive and nervous systems. Mine happily eat yew berries with no ill effect.
