Chortle Chook Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 My next door neighbour laughed out loud at me this morning because I greeted my chickens at 'open up time' with 'Morning cheeky chooks - room service'. I know I'm not alone in talking to my chickens even if it is a bit dotty - what do you say to yours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mollyripkim Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 I always say "hello girlie girlies", mad I know but they talk back to me. It was so sad this morning though as normally Ripple would follow me down the garden, I am going to miss her so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olly Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 I say 'Good morning ladies, and have you paid the rent today?' - in other words, are there any eggs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WitchHazel Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 "Morning Ladies" or "Morning my Gorgeous Girls" as I approach the run. then (usually), adjusted according to the order they come out: "hello Roobarb, hello Lotti, hello Custard, hello Florence, Hello Milly, Hello Poppy can I have a cuddle?No Ok, then. Til-----deeee? Tilda, are you all right sweetheart? Do you want to come out or are you OK where you are? " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
good_egg Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 My first words are usually "patience" shortly followed by "shut up Connie" as they hear me putting their food in the run and start stamping at the door and squeaking impatiently (Connie). Then as I let them out they get a "morning ladies, did we sleep well". Usually have a wee chat with a cuppa before I go to work (not so much now it's still dark) and a "be good and play nice" as I leave then they are all in bed when I get home now but they get a "night night chook chooks" and a wee stroke through the cube roof - usually get some purrs or coos from each. We are definitely all mental! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suebee Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 I always say... 'Morning ladies..' and follow this up with a weather report for the girls... So, for example.... 'Morning ladies... It's very windy this morning girls, but at least it's fine, so make the most of it, cos it's gonna rain later...' Wierd, I know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken Shirl Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 I greet them all by name as they gradually appear from the trees......Then it's "Minky come and have something to eat ".......Before he starts chasing whichever hen he fancies most that day.

blueandwhite Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Hi Pheebs, hi Eebs - what a horrible day (or nice day - whatever) - still bald I see Pheebs!

merlina Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Chooks! and then i ramble at them about whatever - work, weather, lack of eggs, amount of poo, that I can't find my whatever, don't peck my fingers/toes/trousers, have you seen the cat etc etc This should be a matter of public record, for fear that when I'm old and doddery it may be taken as a sign of missing marbles!

chuckmum6 Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 I wish I was still in bed/on my perch, you lazy chooks! It's that time of year when I don't see them, they are all still in bed snoring, when I leave for work and again when I come home. Very envious!
