TAKE YOUR CHICKEN TO WORK DAY​

...
I believe the girl is off to college and commuting.
Chapter two? Chickens go to college?
IDK, maybe.

Why not? We had a rabbit that went to the University of Delaware. Bunny lived with my sister and her roomie, right in the dorms. There was no cage, no visible bunny paraphernalia, the litter box was scooped every day and NO one was ratting out "Sister Bunny." If she hadn't run from one favorite hidey-hole to the other (between the two twin beds) during an inspection, she would never have been noticed. As it is, the dorm inspector didn't bat an eye. She simply kept writing - "microwave not unplugged ... window screen hole ... rabbit." Bunny came home that weekend, just a few weeks shy of earning her degree!

Well, at least now you know why YOUR chickens crossed the road!

My funny story:

I have a hen who was spoiled as a chick. Now even though she has a coop, she continues to try to break into our house.
We are building our home so she has become very inventive.
One day we heard a rustling noise in our ceiling (which wasn't finished).
Suddenly the insulation popped out and when I looked up, there was Henny.
So I climbed up a ladder and pulled her down.

So yes she got into the rafters and was trying to get in.
I clipped her wings, but she still insists on getting in. We have a camper attached to our house. So now she tries to get in through the camper.

Well she is completely closed out now so she knocks (pecks) on the door all through out the day, everyday.

And that is my funny story of Henrietta, our first chick.

Edit: Henrietta has figured out how to get into the house through our cat's door. I have given up and started putting a diaper on her when she came in around 9am every morning. I have since learned that I have to leave the diaper off until she lays her egg first, lol. Then she hangs out until my son gets home from school and she goes back out the cat door to join her sisters in her coop.

Yesterday I found her all snuggled up beside my husband on our bed. They were both taking a nap. For a man who says I baby the chickens too much, that was a sight to behold.

I have an aunt and for a while she had 2 roosters, Yellow and Chicken Little. They lived in a shoe box in her house as chicks and when she kicked them outside [there was no coop] they kept trying to get in through the kitchen door as soon as someone opened it. They roosted on her kitchen windowsill and were the best of friends. Also, they used to hop up on her lap and sit one on each knee for a cuddle.
