I call my daughter the 'chicken whisperer'

[chooky]

She loves our chooks! Perhaps a little too much, bless her. I heard her say to a chook the other day "come to mummy for a cuddle" - lol

I took these pics today (without her knowing) Singing to the chook in the first photo.

here she is holding two at once;

and this naughty chook decided to come in the house and look for a tasty treat in the kitchen.

I don't have photos, but a few days ago my 2 year old son was asleep, having his afternoon nap. I heard him cry out, and then scream. I went down to his room and he was standing beside his bed and pointing. A chook had come in the back door, sauntered off down the hall way and hopped into bed with him.

We have so got to get into the habit of closing the screen door behind us now. I can't believe how bold they are. I chase them out the house at least 5 times a day.

GREAT photos! Such a cutie! I love that she sings to them. That's something I can see my daughters doing.... once our chicks get here.

Maybe you can buy one of those spring things that closes the door automatically behind you

Those are too too cute

We'd leave our door open in Germany during the summer to let cooler air come in (no central AC in an old 1800's farmhouse) and late in the afternoon, a couple of our RIR's would come inside, go up a flight of stairs to the NEXT flight of stairs and roost at the attic door

Totally adorable! I can't wait for my step son to experience our chicks when they get a bit older.
