Only at a BYC'ers, would you hear....

DH: "You pay more attention to them than me!"

Me: "Yeah, well, they need me!"

At the restaurant:
Me: "Man, I'm stuffed!"
DH "Get a box and take it home for the chickens... Don't waste it!" (It used to be, take it home for the dogs!)

At any picnic we go to:
DH: "Don't throw away the scraps, we'll take 'em home for the chickens"
Me:

"who doesn't like the chickens?!"

DH: "Hon, here on your chicken forum thing it says..."
Me: "Oh Yeah, let me read!" (secretly thinking, "HA! I have turned you over to the dark side

"

I was just processing an order here at my job, and I saw the company name "HT Hackney", and I thought, oooh, there's a hatchery I hadn't heard about. Only a BYC'er can see "Hackney" and think "Hatchery".

Lol One of our is next door now Its the first time she's jumped the fence, actually 2 jumped over but the guy next door chased her back over the fence but the other is under a low lying thick bush and they can't get her. Usually one will sit on the fence. I only realised they were over there when i went to investigate why one of the hens was running around screaming, I think she was telling the other ones to come back home, we only have 4 bantam hens. I I think I'm going to have to clip their wings.

my mom: "Can't you control your son?"
me (to my Serama roo) "I didn't raise you to act that way!!"

This was after the umpteenth time one day that I had to rescue my Mom from my boy's, uh... attentions. He's developed a fetish for my Mom's feet... She can no longer walk barefoot if he's in the house.

our chickens are house pets so my kids are known to ask questions such as:
"mom, should I turn on the AC? - the chickens are panting"
"should I make extra for the chickens?" (cooking meals)
"who pooped on my pillow?"
