Do You Ever "Get Smart" With Your Chickens?

[secuono]

I cuss at them sometimes. Usual just kidding and all, but never real angry like I get with the dogs/cats. The chickens have nothing to break, steal, destroy etc. The birds and fish are the 'good kids', while the dogs and cats are the 'bad kids'.

"d*mnit, stop running around the barn like the stupid dog and get in already!" Of curse, the dog will then think I'm talking to him and he runs into the barn and not the bird...lol

My JG babies are two weeks old today. I call them the 'Poop-a-lot Gang'.

Oh yes.

I scold my chickens all the time for stealing my blue heelers food or getting into the garden.

My mother always laughs when she comes out of the house and sees me waving a finger in front of the chicken. "Paula, no. You cannot steal Blackeye's food. It's his. I'm afriad that if you do it again, no more watermelon for breakfast."

Or when I'm upset at my mean little bantam rooster, I glare at him and tell him he'd make a nice appetizer....

I forgot to say why.... SHE WAS MESSIN' WITH MY DELAWARES. AIN'T NOBODY GONNA BE MESSIN' W MY DELS, YA HER????

I have threatened that to mine as well. When I'm frustrated I call them dumb chickies. Usually, "no going on the deck you dumb chickies" followed by waving the broom at them. They love me, but they are terrified of what the scary broom might do to them.

Grab the broom, grab the broom! There's chickens on the deck!!

I smacked that white rock silly. I HATE HER! I am also re-homing her, and already have people wanting her and the stupid EE going with her. Mess with my dels, I MESS WITH YOU.

oh yea, there has been more than once that i have spoken to May my little adoptee. trying to boost her bawkedness to the others. More than once i have picke up my roo, flipped him upside down in my arms and coo'd at him like a baby in my arms.

OMG that is so dang funny to see the look in his eyes when I do that.

I call my chickens "pickle heads". when they were little they looked like little dill pickles runing around, so the name kinda stuck with them. You should see when I go calling them in from free roaming at night

"PICKLE HEADS!!! Where are you at my little PICKLE HEADS!~! time to come in PICKLE HEADS!!!!" i swear my neighbors pee their pants at that.

My BIG 5 month old Brahma cockerel is named Chickenpoop (but the not as nice version). One of the white silkie hens is nicknamed "The crazy little white bird". I call my mouthy BR, PepPep, a Fat Zebra Butt, when she starts complaining that I ran out of treats, or moved something, or didn't clean the coop to her satisfaction. Then I chase her around and give her chicken loves. If any the chickens go through a phase of picking on another, they're pinned on their backs and get a finger wag as I yell "That is unacceptable chicken behavior!" I'm sure our new neighbors think I'm nuts.
