Things you never said until you had chickens....... - Page 29

Tonight we were out giving the chickens an evening treat before locking them in the coop for the evening.  My 4 year old daughter said, "Did Penny just poop?"  I responded that yep, it sure looked like she did.  DD approached the very squashy fresh poop and said, "That's my favorite kind of poop!"  For the record, I have absolutely no idea where that comment came from.

Mother hen to 1 buff orpington, 1 buckeye, 1 silver laced wyandotte, 1 barred rock, 1 light brahma, and 2 easter eggers.

Our cardigan welsh corgi, Maddie, is sweet, but is currently in the doghouse for unnecessary roughness with the chickens!

 

You can't scare me!  I teach 6th grade!

"Now, why can't you be a girl??"   (Said to a particularly adorable cockerel which just started crowing.)

 

"Okay, who laid this egg here??"  (Found an egg balanced on one of the roost bars!!)

 

"I've got chickens!"  (In a sing-song voice, as I call them to treats I'll be hand-feeding to them.)

You won't believe what my chickens did today....

 

Hey dinner, your getting nice and fat. (meat birds)

 

Crow and I'll cook ya.

At the very least, wipe the poop off your feet before getting in the car.

Haha!! I love this thread!

Something that gets said often around here when I'm going to let the girls out to play:

"I'll be right back, I have to go put on a dirty shirt."

The other day, to my suspect pullet: "Wipe that rooster look off your face!" To which she replied by shaking her head.

This morning: "Get your butt down that ramp!"

Another one: "Are you practicing? That had better be an egg squat!"

2 sweet-as-can-be Light Brahma pullets, Georgina (the layer), and Kitty (the queen) PS: Kitty finally started laying at 11 months

 

Trousers... One of the best roosters who ever lived, though I never knew him, I grew to love him.  May he rest in peace

"Girls, how many times do I have to tell you to stay off the porch....?"  (Said while shaking my finger at them as if they have the slightest idea of what I mean...roll.png)

A friend told me I was delusional. I almost fell off my unicorn.

 

I smile because I have no idea what's going on.  :D  

 

When life gives you lemons, turn around and squeeze 'em back in life's eyes.

 

My room is not messy, I simply have everything on display for everyone to see. Like a museum.

"I don't care if there are worms in the road, you stay out of there."  "If you chase those chicks I'll chase you and then where will you be?"  "Be a good girl and eat your own food." 

Whoever said don't count your chickens before they're hatched clearly never tried to count chickens after they're hatched.

"Hey Rapunzel you should stop hiding under the willow tree and go play with your sisters!"

"I'm a teen mom of eight beautiful chickies."

"They can't walk on snow so you have to make a path out of hay."

"Look at you! You've got all your feathers! My baby is all grown up!"

"Yeah, we soaked the poop out of her feathers and then we put on some vaseline."

"That's my hair, not your food."

"Your comb is a little pale, are you feeling ok?"

"You ate all the yogurt already, you don't need any more tomatoes today."

I could go on for ages...
