Things you never said until you had chickens.......

[showbarnmom]

I have had chicks maybe 3 months? I was mad at one today for picking on the new.chicks and yelled out "alright, that's it...I'm sending you to freezer camp and you are not taking your cell phone!"

My oldest nephew overheard and asked where.freezer camp was and if they had a river to go canoeing on


*sigh*

Earlier this evening I was making cookies for my chickens
Brother: What are you making?
Me: Cookies.
Brother: Awesome!! What kind and are they for us?
Me: Uh, I don't think you'd enjoy them, they're for the chickens- duh!
Brother: Nasty.

"Come here little chicky, I gotta wash the poo off your butt."
"Oh my gosh, you can hear them poop!"
"I hope I get a couple fart eggs when they start laying."
"Don't throw those ashes away, I need them for the chicken bath."
"Stop pottying in your food."

"yes! we are eating the mean one tonight!" best in chicken noodle...

mey birds are coming in tomorrow
classmate: really how many?
me: 51... we brought it waaay down.
classmate: how far down?
me: in the 50 range...

apparently when you find one chicken breed you turn around and find another that you want...

"I'm just going to put the girls to bed" (on my way outside in the dark). My friends look at me like I'm nuts until I explain!!

The other day I wondered how my gizzard would do eating pheasant for the first time! I'm sooo stupid, I did remember as soon as I thought it that I don't have a gizzard, don't worry!!

Just remembered another one:

It's Saturday lunch time and my mum says: "So what's everyone doing this afternoon?"
Me: "I'm going to move the house." (I meant the chicken coop!

)

Me (After my mix breed hen, Lydia, flies on the balcony for the 7th time): Uh, Lydia, you do realize that the balcony IS NOT A NEST!!!

(Just a tip)

19 isn't cold, and chickens can handle it quite well You want to start taking them in (if theres no heatlamp) when its -10, but with a heatlamp they can reach temps. as cold as -40 (living in AK gives you great tips... XD)

Nice to know, just a funny thought to bring them back into the dinning room.

Hubby: mmm... you making me some deviled eggs?
Me: nope. They're for the chickens.
Hubby: you're feeding them their own?
Me: they're not fertilized...

No, I'm growing that for the chickens.
