Poorly chicken

[chocchick]

Substitute cake for omlette, and I can rustle one up.....

We too shout CHICKEN at the TV

[CatsCube]

Display abnormal behavior by:

 

Running out into the garden at some silly hour in the morning in just a pair of pants, in the middle of winter, with a bowl of hot mash.

 

Spending a lot of time on the net typing the word 'chicken' into google.

 

Soend all day drawing chicken pics for their young children and running round the house together impersonating chickens.

[Tina C]

Phew thanks for getting this back on track guys - did anyone else notice that this nearly turned into another Crocs thread?

[Helen&Lee]

 

And the one about throwing another handful of pasta in the pan is defenitely common happening here too...

 

 

... keep thinking of buying a cube (for those who don't have one) and planning to get more chickens

 

 

I actually cooked pasta just for the chooks the other night

 

And the other way around - I keep thinking about buying an Eglu to make the introductions of more chooks easier!

Oh gosh, the chicken inpersonations

We don't even have children

[jomaxsmith]

I've given up my crocs because _everyone_ wears them now! I would move on to Birkenstocks but I just can't find them warm or comfy for winter!

 

Anyone else not really admit to having chickens in public? I now have 2 'shameful' pastimes - I'm chair of my village gardening club and I have chickens as pets!

I tell everyone i meet i have chickens, i always manage to bring it into the conversation somehow

 

I'm extremely proud of my chooks

Goodness, I could never give up my Crocs, & I am confident in the knowledge that even if there are quite a few around now,I was FIRST!

I am loud & proud about my hens & tell everyone, from the Tesco cashier to the Argos delivery man

Actually,the Tesco cashier got some hens of her own after I told her about mine

Chickens as pets has to be one of the few pastimes you really should shout about - its progressive,green & a whole lot of fun too

[The Dogmother]

Convert people to the joys of chicken keeping

 

Stick a vaselined finger up a chooks bum

 

Think that wearing a nightie and wellies is fine

 

Ask OH to hold the phone out to the chooks so that you can talk to them

 

Know far too much about lice and mites

 

Know lots of other lovely chicken people

[chelsea]

- has a digital camera full up of images of chickens

 

- sings to their chickens

 

- feel guilty going on holiday without their chickens

 

- gone past the phase of being embarrassed or annoyed when most of

family/friends/colleagues do this face - when you talk

consistantly about chickens

[Aunty e]

...have an obsession with poop.

[BeckyBoo]

....think that everyone else is interested in chickens ie; cashiers, milkman, postie...

 

....bore everyone at work or wherever with chicken photos (I actually forwarded some to myself at work so I could show everyone our hens, I'm worse than a baby-bore)

 

....keep trying to come up with reasons that will persuade their OH's that they need more chickens (and not succeding so far )

 

spend too much time in the garden not actually doing any gardening

 

Mrs Bertie

[Tessa the Duchess]

.....replace photo of grandson with photo of chickens as the background to

my mobile phone

 

..... Spend ages in pet food stores looking for new treats for chickens

 

..... Get so overloaded with eggs give some to man who came to read the

gas meter

 

..... Find oneself deciding that an immaculate garden and lawn was far too

much like hard work anyway

 

 

Tessa

[Olly]

... fall on the 'reduced veg' trolley in Waitrose with delight, and then find themselves explaining to the cashier that the limp and bruised lettuces at 15p aren't for me, they're for my CHICKENS! (Oops, did I mention them again?)

 

 

... yup, I too shout 'CHICKEN' at the most inopportune moments

[betty]

Can't wait till the clocks go forward. (I am really missing spending time with my girls now it gets dark so early.)

 

Liz

[chickencam]

The first thing that any member of this family asks when returning home 'how many eggs today?'then goes to see girls.

 

What did we talk about before they arrived?

[xScrunchee]

I am loving this thread and am guilty of most of the chicken related behaviours

[Guest]

Explain to everyone how bad battery eggs are.

[The Dogmother]

Me too Pengy

 

... wear Chicken Poop lipsalve with pride

[xScrunchee]

Wear a chicken poop coat with pride!! Well, maybe not pride exactly but chicken poo nonetheless!!

[chickenlass]

Pretty much all of the above plus :

 

walking around making clucking noises

 

Give chicken feed priority before getting breakfast for husband.

 

Marvel at how an egg is formed

 

happily give away eggs to people who are then subjected to a lecture on the befores and after of the battery hen.

 

and so on and son .......

[bronze]

you're all weirdos

[The Dogmother]

you're all weirdos

 

And you're not? *rasp*

[missuscluck]

...have too many other pets and struggle to say the word no when an animal keeping opportunity arises.

[missuscluck]

Oh and I dont wear crocs either
