Brooding hen has chicks in nesting box

[Alis girls]

Has anyone noticed chickens crop up more and more on TV. Last night a flock of witnessed slaying of elderly nun By the time the fuzz arrived they were safely behind a fence clucking loudly. In the same evening on freeview a garden in the Wirral owned by lady called Adele sported a few chickens happily pecking around and being made fun of by the other contestants on Come dine with me. I think chickens make a place looked homely and seem to be taking over from cats and dogs.

I couldn't believe that those hens were up and about in the dark! But it is always lovely to see some chooks on the tv - and my mother always phones me to let me know if there are to be any hen appearances on the box, or to ask if I saw them on some programme she has been watching!

I saw it too, in fact I was so engrossed in noting that the fencing wasn't high enough or strong enough that I missed the storyline

[Tweety]

I was wondering about the security of their run too - you could only tell another chook lover that fact, anyone else would think we are completely crazy!

[Alis girls]

And they were gonna eat one to celebrate the young nun becoming a full blown nun - dont they know theres little meat on a laing hen - someone didnt do their hen homework properly tuts crossly - yes the run was inaduequate - chicken wire - useless. i think I need to get out more - not alone there am I I notice he credits had a nun expert no chicen expert noted - naughty ITV - I wouldnt want to live in Midsomer and I think the chances of survival as a chicken might be under jeopardy too.

Perhaps with all the camera lights it wasn't dark

I admit that I did the 'Oh look, chickens' thing and OH sighed.

Yes I noticed about the chickens being out after dark in the final sequence! When they came on screen me and then dh chorused ooh hennies. We were more worried about the lurking fox than the murdered nun!

[Alis girls]

My OH now shouts " chickens on TV " if he thinks I will miss them. hes become a convert. he was worried they would be traumatised watching someone being murdered

[Space Chick]

On the current series of "An Idiot Abroad" there have been several chicken spotting moments... which generally lead to me shouting "CHICKEN!!" at the telly.... much to OH's annoyance (despite the fact he is also a committed hen fan )

 

Glad I don't watch Midsomer Murders, as I'd also think stuff the Nun... what about run security and foxes

[gongladosh]

Chickens are in most Midsomer episodes or so it seems (note the name of two of my hens!).

 

They're everywhere on TV now - I'm pleased with this! With everything we watch, either my wife or I seem to end up shouting "HEN!" at the TV...

[Alis girls]

I dont normally watch MSM but was under the weather and fancied some mindless TV and was treated to a sight of a nun being strangled and horrified chucks looking on!! i will watch with more interest in future - the family is getting used to me shrieking "chickens" at the TV when a feathered friend appears
