Contest Ended - Tell Us Your Funniest Chicken Story to Win Six Bags of Feed from Nutrena!

My funniest chicken story changes from day to day. Our chickens are darn entertaining. My husband denies having a favorite chicken and even thinks I am nuts because I like having chickens at all.. He might not realize but little Thora is his favorite chicken. She is a one year old Silkie hen. She "talks " to him, likes to be held, and is quite gentle. She would as the book says, "hatch a glass egg". She is allowed to roam as she pleases during the day. Yesterday my husband came into the house holding a little egg. "Look", he said,. "I found this right by the telephone pole next to the hen house. She must have not been able to figure out how to get in and lay it in her box so she did the best that she coudl. Poor little Thora." Poor Little Thora my foot.... maybe I should have delived our children next to the telephone pole! My chicks were 9 pounds when I delivered and I never heard, "Poor Little Pammy- she did the bet she could". You gotta love 'em!
 
MY THIS WEEK'S FUNNY CHICKEN STORY IS AS FOLLOWS. I WAS CLEANING THE HOUSE, WORKING IN THE KITCHEN AND I HEARD A RABBLE IN THE HEN HOUSE. WE HAD THE NEW WYANDOTTES (10-12 WEEKS ) IN WITH THE OLDER LADIES.MY THREE RHODE ISLAND REDS ARE A YEAR OLD AND SO ARE MY TWO LITTLE SILKIES. THOSE TWO SILIES ARE NOT GOING TO HURT ANYONE BUT THE RHODE ISLAND REDS GET A LITTLE UPPITY TOWARDS OTHERS SOMETIMES. wELL THEY GOT INTO IT AND THE TWO SILKIES THINK THEIR JOBS ARE TO ALERT ME THAT SOMEONE IS BEING BAD. I BURST THROUGH THE KITCHEN DOOR AND HOLLERED OUT "YOU PLAY NICE OUT THERE!" WHAT IN THE HECK WAS THAT ALL ABOUT? THESE ARE CHICKENS I WAS WARNING, NOT PRESCHOOLERS! NONE THE LESS THEY ALL SETTLED RIGHT DOWN. MAYBE IF WE HAD TOLD OUR CHILDREN THE ONES THAT DIDN'T FOLLOW THE RULES WERE GOING TO BE SUNDAY DINNER THE TEEN YEARS MIGHT HAVE BEEN A LITTLE EASIER.
 
I had a very adventurous silkie rooster who roosted up in the tractor one night. My brother in law towed the tractor to the job site and began working. After a while, he went to use the tractor, & he finds my silkie rooster sitting on the seat of it! My brother in law discretely returned my rooster and went back to work. LOL.
 
Haha so many good stories!

My yard is not completely fenced, and my chickens roam free. So without spending a TON of money I wanted them to stay in my yard and not the neighbors. So I went and bought one of the owl fake statue things and stuck it on the open part of the fencing between me and the neighbor. Before long the rooster crowed, and crowed, and crowed. I walk outside, and there is the rooster standing there bellering at the top of his tiny lungs at this owl lol I just started laughing. He finally walked away from it after some persuasion and the dog running around to close to him. And an hour later, I hear crowing again. We have a seasonal pond, that mostly had disappeared at this point, so the hens love to dig in there for larvae and bugs and things. Here was the rooster again, standing between his hens and the owl, crowing away, beating his wings, and dancing around puffing up to show how tough he was. I laughed so hard I cried lol

Then when i was done feeding them i left my hens out to free range and my broody silkie decided to go out as well.Then suddenly my silkie rooster poped out and started to chase her to mount her she ran all puffed up he ran after her she flapped her wings as fast as she could he allso did it then she jumped?flew over a huge ditch and escaped (i never new a silkie could jump/fly that high)Then my fat silkie rooster attemped it and landed rigth in the middle of the ditch tangles in nettles tornes you name it and he was cought on an eletric fence so i immediatly turned off the electrit fence and got him free he tried attacking me in the process silkie went back on her eggs and the rooster went back to doing what he dose best making noise and mounting ever hen he sees and protecting them

I soooo should get extra points, because my funniest chicken story happened "live" for all BYC member to see. Here it is:

I SHOULD HAVE TO GO TO BYC TIME-OUT FOR BEING AN IDIOT. I hope there are some fun people there. I posted my chicken names. No, I shouldn't go to time-out for that 'cause my chicken names are funny. Yup, really funny. I saw ANOTHER thread on BYC about chicken names, and knowing I have a HUMORAL obligation to share them thar' funny chicken names (cause thar' funny and all), I copied and pasted my post.
I know that part is no crime, but when I copied my #400 and something number post and pasted it to the other thread, I BROUGHT ALONG THE 400 AND SOMETHING NUMBER POSTS WITH ME! OMG, I'M GLAD I HIT PREVIEW FIRST!
Can you imagine all those folks in Funniest Chicken Name post getting Best Chicken Names Posts. 400 + - all at one time! AND THEY WOULD HAVE FREAKED!!!!! Because the best chicken names (no offense disclaimer) ain't so funny. Oh except mine.
AND THE FINAL NOTE(totally and sadly true); To post this "funniest chicken story" I had to fix the fact that I copied and pasted ALL OF BOTH THREADS to Here. That happened because I had to write this out to the Funny Chicken Names Post people to explain why they might be gettin' 400 plus "not so funny" names (except mine that are really funny) all of a sudden. AND I had to explain to the Best Chicken Names Folks why some people might think their 'Best' names; like...Fluffy, or Chik-Chik are being laughed at by the Funny Name Group.
Maybe if I'd of 'jist kept my d--n chicken names to myself, I wouldn't be in aheap of trouble!
 
This story might not count but wanted to share... My sister in-law noticed her feed was getting lower and lower. She couldn't figure out how something could get into it the can had a latch .One morning we walked into her coop and there was the culprit, butt in the air and face in the feed. A small coon! The coon looked up at us with such a " I'm busted" look on his face. He slowly put the lid back on ,LATCHED it and snuck out the door. All her chickens looked just as stunned as us! The coon never came back. I wish we had a camera!
 
My huge red ranger rooster looks so fierce and you would think you would be dead in seconds but...he's soooooooooooooooooo sweet and when you play with his butt feathers he starts preening his chest feathers!sometimes hell even do it to my coat. I think he's tickilish.
