If you could communicate a thought to your chickens, what would it be?

“It would help me sleep better at night time if you came down out of the tree and went in to the coop I very specifically designed and purchased for you.”

"The dogs are not going to hurt you. They just like corn and worms too!"

"Why am I feeding all 20 of you if I'm only getting six eggs a day, huh? Huh? Chickens are good for more than just eggs you know!"

Please eat the oyster shell I put out for you. I am out of egg shells! Really, I know you like egg shells better, but I. Am. Out.

How True! So I am crushing the OS into smaller pieces for them. Ugh.

Quit jumping up! I swear I don't have treats in my pockets.

Stop knocking all the food out of the bowl, there's Nothing else down there!

"Please don't swarm my feet and trip me when I have food, I know you want the food and you would get it faster if I didn't have to carefully step around all of you and your overly trusting offspring."

Another very True one! Sometimes, I just throw some pellets a few feet away so I can move.

I am not holding out on you. Those are freckles, not food! Leave my legs alone lunatics.

I'm delighted by the responses. I can relate to so many of these. It's nice that I'm not alone in not being able to walk in my chicken run because there's chickens crowding my feet or sitting on my shoes.
