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

[SoftBoiled]

Just yesterday, a knock at the door

I yelled "I can't come to the door, I'm washing my chicken!"

Another, louder, knock at the door ... I open the door with an armful of wet chicken ... "I'm sorry.... I'm WASHING MY CHICKEN!" ... the wet chicken dripping on the floor for artistic emphasis.

before closing the bulkhead doors to the cellar, there was a nice big grasshopper on the edge - calling to my granddaughter (3 1/2) to come get it, the handyman looking on... she snatched it up and delivered it to my broody and her 4 chicks saying (and laughing) "Here you go Peach, a fat bug for your babies, I'll find you a frog!" Handyman just blinked. later, he said "I thought she might put it in a jar... or set it free... poor bug." but he had to admit, she's a smart chicken keeper!
