loumabel Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 My hubby lets out our chickens each morning into to there WIR's and feeds them and changes water then I clean them out about 10ish and check everything is ok and give treats in the afternoon etc and lock them up at night. Today, I had to go out early until about 1ish so I thought for once I will leave the chooks until I get back and do my chores then, knowing that they have been fed and watered etc. I slowly wandered down the garden about 1.30 only to find that my OH has not opened one of the eglus and my ex batts Lily and Rose have been locked in all day with no food and water I immediately let them out and they were not happy at all!! gave me filthy looks and made disgruntled noises and dived straight on their food. Poor girlies!!! Hubby is in big trouble when he gets home, what are they like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keyhole kate Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 I immediately let them out and they were not happy at all!! gave me filthy looks and made disgruntled noises and dived straight on their food. Am I sad for admitting I could acrually picture this in my head and thinking yep this is exactly what they would do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chortle Chook Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Chooks don't forget even if OHs do. To be fair my OH is very good at remembering chicken shutting up time.. . if not chicken opening up time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I have a hubby who seems to have the same problem (must be something to do with the Y-chromosome ). This morning I asked him to let the dogs out in the garden for a wee while I got ready to take them out for a walk. A simple task you would think, but when I got downstairs 15 minutes later there was only one dog to be found, and a rather frenzied scratching sound coming from the back door - yes, hubby had managed to lock the other dog in the garden (in the freezing cold) Really, is it that difficult to count to two?! I stopped letting him near the chickens some time ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
