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

[cluckcluckgirl]

As I'm getting my lunch (a chicken-flavored soup cup), I said this:

"Hmm. I think I'll have chicken." Then I realize that the chicks are in their brooder just shortly away from me.

"Uh, yes. I think I'd like more chickens to keep. (

) I just love you guys!"

I didn't want them to think I was eating their kind; I wanted them to think I was just saying how I want more chickens.

Me: Mom, Pip needs to lay an egg and she wants to lay it in the house.
Mom: Well too bad she can't lay an egg in here...
Mom: BROOKE! THE CHICKEN HAS WANDERED IN THE HOUSE!!!

" omg. Can you go 5 minutes without crapping?!"

"No, the chick doesn't need to drive the Barbie car."

"I can't eat this chicken sandwich now. They keep staring at me...omg they know."

"Never thought a single chick could turn me into a vegetarian."

"No! Don't squish that bug! Grab it with a tissue and feed it to my boy!"

"Can't I have 5 minutes to go to the bathroom alone? Why do you even want to watch, hoping I have a tick or something?"

Guest: Can I come see the chickens?!
Me: Yes! Just watch out for all the....bombs.....
Guest: Um, ok... *scans the whole earth for 'bombs'*

Mom; you owe me for some flowers
Me; why is that
Mom; because your chickens ate them
Me; again?


Dad; you need to clean all this poop out of my yard
Me; that isn't poop it is free fertilizer.

Dad; your chickens pooped all over my front steps
Me: then we are even
Dad: how so
Me; your geese pooped all over my porch
Dad: oh

"Oh! I have to check the eggs in the natural food section!" Toddler looks at me like I'm crazy. "What? They might sell fertile eggs. Won't know until I check."

A friend said to me, so how many chickens have you got now
Me, I've only got 8
My friend, there's a lot more than 8,
Me, no I only have 8 that are laying the rest don't count

My mum, so how many chickens is your limit
Me, I reckon 15 would be my limit,
My mum, but haven't you got that many now
Me, not yet I only know that 8 are girls, got to wait and see what the rest are first
My mum, but you have 19
Me, they don't count unless I know what sex they are

Chicken maths is great, but people just really don't understand it lol

That's the beauty of it, it can be whatever you want it to be at any given time! No explanation necessary.

All hail the Chicken Math!

When my husband brings the chickens in, he tries to get a head count. Not very easy since they don't just line up to be counted. I just look around & check for each one. A friend asked how many I had & I didn't know. I had to list the names & count them.
