Do you lie to your chickens?

[candyd]

hahahaah, that is a cute story! LOL!

Very cute story! I must admit, I would have lied too!!

Ditto, I would have lied too, and yes my hubby probably would've walked away thinking I am crazy. They (DH's) just don't understand!

The big girls and I have had several discussions lately. "Contribute to breakfast or be dinner, your choice." Hasn't helped.

I don't lie to them, but oddly enough, when I go home, we get more eggs from them per day vs when I am not home and the rest of the family is taking care of them. My mom says it's because the birds have a healthy fear of me and know I can make them dinner if they don't keep up their work.

Buster has no idea what I am asking.

All my chickens hear anyway is "This might be food, so you better come over here, trip me, steal it, run under a bush, and abandon your loot where I can't reach it."

Lol . . . there is nothing my chickens like to eat more than chicken and eggs, so I've never felt the need to tell that particular lie

. . . but . . . I do have a chicken that much of my family (incorrectly) thinks is ugly. When they start to mention it I say, "Shh! Not in front of her!" I'm sure Vladimir must be more freaked out by my shushing noise than any of the unintelligible comments the other humans may make about her appearance
