Ribh's D'Coopage

I was particularly impressed with Shad's chat with Mel!

Can't say the same for Mel!

I just love this picture. Would you mind if I printed this and put it up. This has just wonderful composition. Beautiful picture.

Of course not Bob. There is a slightly more arty but similar picture on Ribh's thread I think.

Good evening everyone

Tonight we were 13 on the top roost.
Aoife had to be hoyed out of a nesting box ~ again !

One of the campines had missed out of a top spot so @ least she had company. It has been a cold wet old day so all interfamial rows are on temporary hold.

I've been having conversations with chickens for many years now. One has to be a bit careful acknowledging this as it seems it isn't considered normal in some social circles.

I talk to my girls all the time. I don’t care what the neighbours think!

It's when you are having a human conversation and mid way you make an interjection like ' I was talking to Treacle about this very issue yesterday' and people realise at some point that Treacle is in fact a rooster that things can get a bit awkward.

For what it is worth, the guys constructing the Chicken Palace (who had no experience of chickens before coming to help me) talk to the chickens all day long. Even when I am not there with them but am doing my day job from home, I can hear them all chattering away to each other.

That’s awesome. (And just out of interest, what was Treacle’s viewpoint on the subject?)

I love converting regular people into chicken people.

This is a real 'got bit bad' situation. One of the guys lives in a town where he isn't allowed to keep chickens and he wants to try and get that changed. A friend of his in another town came with him one day and asked about taking some of the scrap plywood so he could build his own coop because he wants chickens too. The one who got bit bad cuddles each of them every day and they come to his whistle - if anyone gets out while he is working, he just whistles and they come running right back in. They come when I call them too - but not as fast. I am a tad jealous I must admit! Do they like him better than they like me?!
