Gertie Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 I decided to have a BBQ today as an early celebration for the jubilee, making the best of the wet weekend forecast. My hen rosemary was an embarrassment! She was free ranging at the time. She stole food from people's hands, jumped on guests lap, and on the table twice. She ran off with half a sausage (which we retrieved). In the end we had to put her back in the eglu. She then shouted loudly for the rest of the evening!

Ain't Nobody Here Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Sorry, but that sounds hilarious . Were your guests amused or annoyed ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheeky Chooky Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Oh that's so funny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gertie Posted June 2, 2012 Author Share Posted June 2, 2012 Generally they were amused and we were all a bit surprised by how cheeky she was. After she stole the sausage we thought she had better go to bed. She has eyed up my lap before when I'm eating outside but she hasn't jumped up before. Although she did stick her beak in my coffee earlier & left me some floating bits!! Still, it added an unexpected element of entertainment to the evening....and then there was the bonfire in the rain!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gertie Posted June 2, 2012 Author Share Posted June 2, 2012 Have to admit, I've had a lovely day! (hope you all have too). Got the best of the sunshine and BBQ, chicken amusement, & in true British style persevered to make fire and have fun...despite torrential rain!!! But tomorrow is weeding day never mind!

AlisonH Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 I hope you weren't tempted to serve BBQ chicken! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gertie Posted June 3, 2012 Author Share Posted June 3, 2012 No!! Although she looked as though she wanted to jump up on that too at one point! I think next time we'll use the netting. I have to forgive her though. She can't help being greedy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
