You know you love your chickens when...

I have a baby monitor to listen to my girls. I caught a hawk &a cat trying to get at them. Without the monitor, my Orpington would have been killed.

I just bought a monitor for mine too! My very good friend does it for hers and I thought it was a brilliant idea!

Great idea! I have an old baby monitor. I don't know if it will pick-up signal from that far but I'm gonna give it a try.

This is my 2nd since August. I put it in a baggie this time. I think the moisture ruins it.

Go to a 2nd hand childrens store for the monitor.

U know u love ur chickens when you see them and think: I bet they would like their coop better if it was painted.

Now I don't feel so bad. I buy fresh corn on the cob and cut the corn off for the chickens- I threw the whole cob out there and they just ignored it. If I cut the corn off for them, the go crazy eating it- I alternate snacks so they don't get too fat.

When you go outside in crocks and PJ's and shut the coop door at 9:00 and call it "Tucking them in"

Have you been watching me?

I can relate!, I do this all the time.. lucky my Hens don't mind it on the cob or even when I shave it off.. I first introduced it to them on the cob, when I had cooked it first. Now they just take As is.

I buy fresh also, but throw it in & they attack it like their starving. It's gone in a flash. lol
