LoL I have said similar things before... "Nuh-uh, silly hen... I rule this roost. " After which she got on top of the coop and proceeded to jump on my head with all too evident gusto! Guess I don't rule after all lol
Lol I have a rooster that talks back to me all the time. I told him off yesterday like I do my kids.... "Capone, if you talk back one more time you're grounded. No treats, no snuggle with Mommy time, and no playing outside! "
Me to hubby: You know you spend too much time with the chickens when the highlight of your day is realizing you managed to clean out all four pens without stepping in one poop or gtting pooped on.
We have a dog, but she is essentialy ueless as a guard dog because she goes under the house and goes to sleep and doesn't wake up until someone stomp on the porch over her head. UGH! And the coop is at the back of a fully fenced and gated property. I am almost always here (stay at home mom...
This is the second time some idjit messed with the pen. Last time someone got in and took our RIR hen and rooster pair and tried to make off with 100 lbs of food. Guess the can was too heavy, but they got the chickens :(

"I'm getting tired of you two feathered bullies messing with my Pretty Girl. Don't make me cook you for Sunday dinner!" (To two hens who won't leave my EE alone, even afer being confined for two days in a smaller cage while she got free run of the coop. Grrrr!)
My son, when the hen was mean...
(hubby to me) You cannot have any clucking more hens! (Word for word...he's now using chicken speak instead of cussing LOL)
Al, get off Capone. He's a roo too. *turning to hubby* Can you have gay chickens?

Me to our supposed guard dog (german shepherd/Staffordshire bull mix) "Some guard dog. You just got beat up by a 3 week old chicken! Now quit cowering behind my leg and go guard something dangit!"
Me to hubby "You are so lucky. Who else would let their hubby have 22 chicks in the bedroom and...
