Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[MaryJanet]

"yes, you're covered for accidental damage. What happened? "

"well I've got these online chicken friends, you see, and they were showing pictures of their sweet hennies inside their houses, so I invites mine in, forgetting the robovac was running. Anyway, I answered the phone and when I hung up 30 minutes later... "
"..."

 

[MaryJanet]

"did I mention they'd just been wormed? I think that's why it was so very catastrophic. For the robovac. And me. Then hens are totally ok with it. "

If that's not an educational insurance claim phone call recording, I don't know what is

I do believe @Shadrach is trying to inspire us all to throw open our doors and let the little fluffy butts inside! I don’t know that I could convince DH or my mother that this is really an accepted practice in most places...

@BlueBaby thats an impressive amount of catch up reading! And I start getting overwhelmed when I have 15-20 pages to catch up on must spend more time on the chicken friends here,

Having chickens come and go as they please in your house isn't something I would recommend for most keepers. The mess and the work involved in cleaning up is incredible.
I live on my own and as houses go, mine is relatively easy to clean but it still needs cleaning every day.
What my situation has allowed me to do is study chicken behaviour that I would probably not otherwise see.

I just got a mental image of a hen riding a robovac like you see cats doing on you tube.

Don't you feel like they should be wearing leather jackets, smoking cigarettes snapping their feathers and singing a capella harmonies sometimes. Just hanging on the old stoop.

I guess I'm the only one thinking about the epic mess that would emerge from a meeting between robovac and fresh chicken poop... Dried ones wouldn't be a problem.

That would be epic!

Some of Farmer's have been funny, but I haven't cared much for the Progressive one's.
