I need you to tell me your funniest chicken fails!! I must crown a winner!!

[FactoryReject]

This is an every day fail. I have a Cornish cross about 10 or 11 months and she weighs a ton. I picked her up and about dropped her today. So all the chicken love to fly over the fence and she thinks it looks fun. I once saw her run as fast as she can, fly up, bang her head into the fence and fall on the ground. I think even the chickens were laughing.

EVERY DAY?!?! LOL!!

I have two. I was out cleaning the back part of my coop, a covered outdoor section with an extra roost and extra set of nesting boxes. I slipped in the muck going over the roost to clean the other shot and came down hard with it straight between my legs. Boy that sure was painful.

The other was a fail of a rooster I had called chirpy. It was mid fall of last year and he was about months old. We had him in the coop for a few months already. I came out one afternoon to find that the poor boy had managed to get himself completely soaked and stuck in the half drained duck pool in the run. We thought for sure that he was now sick and hypothermic. Thankfully he was completely fine.

I've got one. Years ago when we had our big run (with several acres) we used to have ducks as well as chickens. I had a very large pail for water I'd put out for the ducks near their food (they also had a few pools!). During the winter the one pail would freeze as I didn't have another warmer for it. So I would have to flip it over to get the ice block out. One day, I flipped it over in a way it was still slightly raised. I walked away to get water to fill it, and upon my return noticed one of the hens missing. I started frantically looking around, thinking something must have swooped in and taken her. Finally I hear clucking and banging. I run over to the overturned pail, which has moved away from it's original spot, and behold- the lost hen. She looked very confused as I ushered her back to the barn .

That’s the only kind of story I have. Joy never thinks things through. Never.

Tell the one with the pool!

When our pool didn’t have any grass around it, we put down grass seed of different kinds, and lots of hay to prevent mud in the freshly dug-out dirt. The chickens immediately found it and because the hay and goodies were on the opposite side of the pool from their coop, it took a short trip around to get to it all. Joy, my 3 year old Speckled Sussex decided that going around the pool took to long. So she did the logical thing and decided to go over it instead. She must have eaten a bit to much grass seed, because she was to heavy and those wings couldn’t carry her far. She landed smack in the middle of the pool and got a free swimming lesson out of it.

Oh wait you did

One day it was storming but I had to go down to the coop to fill up the chickens water. I had decide not to let them out that day because of the storm. Well there is a set of about
3-4 steps going up into the coop. In my hurry to open the umbrella and get out the door before the chickens made their escape I slipped, rather spectacularly if I do say so, I didn’t even realize I fell until I was on my back on the steps still holding a now inside our umbrella with the rooster standing on the top step staring down at me with a concerned look Luckily it was raining hard enough that the rest of the flock was content to stay inside.

Here's one that I always find interesting to this day. Never underestimate chickens. They have a brain when they want to. So my chickens used to like to go in the hog pen and scratch around for feed. I was not pleased by this, and they knew it. However when I let them out they would run straight for it. Well one day I let them out and was heading back over to the house. They made a beeline for the hog pen, then before they got to the hole to get in they started meandering along. I was like surely they aren't that smart. Sure enough, when they thought I was far enough away and had turned my back, they ran as fast as their little legs could carry them straight into the hog pen. HOWEVER, when they want to be dumb...you can't budge 'em.
