Things I have learned since getting chickens...

[LarryPQ]

Oh! I have another one!

Chickens like quads. Husbands do not like chickens on quads. So, chase chickens off quads. Thus, chickens like Little Tykes 8-in-1, but roosters do not learn when it comes to the slide.

Don't visit your chickens while holding any food you're not willing to have stolen by them. My kiddos have learned this the hard way, and keep forgetting and having to relearn it again...

1) Chickens love leftover Butternut Squash soup.

2) Chickens look positively ridiculous eating soup.

I have learned this the hard way...

You do not train a chicken... the chicken trains you!

When your chicken has become accustomed to a particular chair in your sunroom, don't move the furniture around.

When a blue plate typically means treats for the chickens, don't put your breakfast on a blue plate.

Don't pet one silkie without planning to pet them all.

Pasta is a great worm substitute and encourages chicken football/rugby - an amusing spectator sport.

All I have learned from my chiciken, first rule

Never, ever stick your hand blindly in a nest box to retrieve an egg - the soft shelled ones are a killer

 

[Joyryder]

If you build a coop for the number of chickens you want at time, then you built it too small. It's an addiction - There will always be more coming.

Here is one I keep trying to learn!
Not everyone is going to understand your obsession!!

Sheesh, at least I don't have 300 pairs shoes that don't love me or give me breakfast. Besides all those shoes would have chicken poop on them by the end of the year!

HAHAHAHAA lemme guess why?

I had a chicken get in the storage room one night on my way out the door, she spent the night inside as I could not find her when I returned home.
