Goofy chicken keeping moments

[gimmie birdies]

I thought I would post a goofy chicken keeping moment. My neighbor wanted eggs. I dropped off eggs. When I got home I looked in mirror, I had done a spa day, with lotion on my face, then I went to the coop, a rooster kicked dirt in my face, I thought the dirt would stuff off, but forgot the lotion. I thought my neighbor would think I was nuts, but she said she was sick and did not notice.
Do you have a funny or silly chicken moment?

Last fall I was coming back from the coop with a hen in my arms. I was going to trim her eyes up on the deck. I was met by the mail lady, who had an envelope that needed a dime in postage. It was cold outside so I didn't want to walk in the house with the chicken and expose her to the warmth for a minute, so handed my chicken to the mail lady. "Here, hold my chicken." She did.

I think all my chickens think their names are "Babies" because when ever I see my chickens I say "Hey, babies."

This is not a particularly goofy chicken moment, but it's multiple tiny goofy moments:

When I bring something out for the chickens, I call them with "Chookies! Chookies!" in a pretty high-pitched voice. Works like a charm.

Sometimes my husband is trying to collect them for some reason or another - getting them into the run because we're going out, etc. He goes through long, intricate maneuvers with arms waving, chasing individual chickens. Finally he will give up and call "Chookies!", but he sounds like he's strangling when he does. He looks like he's about to pass out from embarrassment.
