charly1979 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 So clearly Trixie has been reading my book 100 ways for a chicken to train a human and is intent on following the advice Free range means you have the right to roam. However you choose to do it, escape on a regular basis and refuse to return until you are ready Anyway we were all sat munching away on Pizza and chicken popcorn, I heard a funny chickeny noise looked around to see that Trixie had sneaked into the house and was happily making her way to the garden room, if she hadn't made a contented clucking noise I doubt we would have even noticed !

Lewis Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 I was expecting a neighbours chicken to have popped over the fence for treats at tea time!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsunset Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 I found four of mine studying the contents of my fridge last week while I was outside putting ice cubes in their water! Another, Mrs Amber who is a relatively new chook stole a few items of guests at at a bbq, small piece of steak (Benny Hill sequence to follow with 15 chooks in hot pursuit) corn on the cob, which they were going to get anyway when we had done with them......and they got the leftover rice and salad anyway! They have no shame in regards to an open door or food being eaten outside (all must be shared in their eyes!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenthelibrarian Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 And I thought you really meant for *tea* Both of mine are firmly of the opinion that anything remotely edible being enjoyed in the garden is there to share, including taking swigs out of tea or coffee mugs. We have outlawed coffee-drinking but as we both have tea very weak and black we do let them swig the dregs as they seem to relish this treat so much, although please rest assured that my girlies do have clean fresh water at all times. Except when they've kicked wood-chip into the glug, or danced about in it to wash their poo-y feet, but that's another story Make mine a latte next time... by jenthelibrarian, on Flickr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its refreshing for your feet in the summer and your human will love constantly changing the water for a fresh supply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lulabellx1 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 We have had to put a child's safety gate on the back door this summer. On many occasion I have been sitting in the living room, only to turn around to see one of our feathered friends in the hallway. It's so funny, last night Lizzie wanted to roost in the house! She was at the back door making a right racket when all the other hens had popped off to bed. I had to physically pick her up and pop her in the coop. We have the cat food in the kitchen and last time they got in, they discovered it and were happily munching away... I think that the chance of a bit of cat food may be fuelling their desire to come inside. Lovely girls... they do make me chuckle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
