Hint: never leave your door open when your flock is free ranging!

I just love chicken people!

our chickens don't come in the house even if we leave both doors open. Aren't we lucky?

they don't like the people coop. And the dog doesnt like them in the house either! Perfection

Thanks everyone...I really needed to laugh after watching one of my hospice patients die this evening. I was feeling a little down, but you all cheered me up a bit without even trying. This forum is the BEST!

A.T. Hagan :

My previous boss bird was a big Rhode Island Red. He had a fascination with the back porch and was forever leading his hens there (and leaving the inevitable deposits). I quickly learned not to leave the door open when the yard flock was out or he'd lead them right into the kitchen!

I don't usually get much attached to a bird, but I miss that particular one.

.....Alan.

Mine must be his brother

My RIR roo is forever trying to call his girls in the back door if I leave it open for the dogs. DH is kindof afraid of him, so that makes it even MORE hilarious when he does come in the back door. "HONEY, YOUR ROOSTER IS IN THE KITCHEN!!! GET HIM OUT NOW!!!!"
I personally don't mind the birds coming in for brief visits. We have hardwood, and chicken poop cleans up a lot easier than dog poop (which I have been cleaning a lot of since we got the newest member of the "Hey, can I eat that?" club). I just fail to see their fascination. Mr Red always calls the girls like found some special treat --- but with 2 dogs there just isn't a surplus of crumbs on our floor

I think Red is such a liar.​

Awesome! I love hearing about chickens in the house. There is just something so comical about it.

My Speckled Sussex, "Gobbles the Explorer" likes to cruise in the back door to check things out.

She's not even scared of the stereo speaker which is right by the door (she grew up with loud music).
It's especially funny when she stops to take a glance at the record collection.

My Polish was interigating the yoga ball. The Sumatra had cornered the dog.
