DH caught me with a chicken in the house!

[Zenbirder]

One of my favorite hens, Henry (We used to think she was a roo and the name stuck), cam wandering by yesterday afternoon. So I put the cat out back and opened the door and in she came. Well about ten minutes later DH came back from his workshop..... I guess the picture says it all.

He really is the best!

Lol...

When I told my husband that I wanted to get chickens again, he said, "Ok, that's fine, but NO CHICKENS IN THE HOUSE THIS TIME!" lol... He knows me.

Well, then my 4 week old (at the time) easter egger got pecked pretty bad on the neck, so of course she had to be segregated while she healed, and it was obviously too cold outside, soooo.... She became a house chicken

Then, I tried everything to get the flock to take her back, and they wouldn't. She didn't grow normally while she was healing, was so much smaller than the rest, and they kept pecking her. So, obviously she had to stay an inside chicken.

I made a diaper cover for her, use pieces of pad inside, which has to be changed every few hours. We put her in the run during the day with one of the other chickens, alternating them, so maybe one day she can re-join the flock. The rest of the flock free-ranges. Then we bring her in a few times during the day, and all night, where she sleeps in a cat carrier. After dark, and before we go to bed, she "free-ranges" in the house, lol. She jumps up on my lap to sleep, follows the dogs around, chicken-scratches the carpet. And my husband looks alot like YOUR husband in that pic! lol

My DH hates that I let mine in the house...when I got in the car accident, Obelisk and Penny were in the house, because I didn't expect to be gone long...Doom on me...

Looks like 'chicken love to me...

(((belated hugs)))

(I'd be more sympathetic if you got rid of that poor plucked chicken rolling that everlasting egg)
