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

My favorite one my husband always cocks his head at me when I say is...

"oh good morning ladies how are you doing this morning? Good, well I don't know what to make for dinner tonight..." Then I start naming them off... "chicken dumplings, poppeyes, kfc..." and then I look at them again and say ughooom, I mean blue egg layer, dark brown egg layer, light med egg layer... I wonder who isnt going to lay today"



My absolute fav with my husband is I will walk outside because I'm hearing strange noises and I will see my husband sitting in a white lawn chair infront of the chicken pen talking to our turkey in there...
My husband - "blaaahahahaha"
Mrs Gobbles - "gobbles gobbles gobbles
My husband - "Blararhahaha
Mrs Gobbles - "Gobble gobble gooble?
My husband - "Bleregalagla!!!!!

It'll go on for about 10 min back and fourth until I say somethin and then he gets back to working on the car or something. Then he will turn back to me and say (in the dog whisperer voice) I AM THE TURKEY WHEEEESPERER! hahaha

.. My hubby so talks to the turkeys too.. They have conversations

Since having chickens, I frequently referred to myself as "a Rooster Magnet". Why? cause the 50/50 ratio never happens with my 'bator!

Spiders used to creep me out, now I catch them for the chooks.

Ive said to a friend who was having a bad day once,
" Im sorry about your bad day, would you like to hold a chicken ? "

I love this! Any time we need to de-stress around here, we go grab a chicken! Great calming effect listening to that gentle cluck.

"What kind of wine goes with chickens?" as I drag my lawn chair into the run to have a glass of wine while holding and petting the chickens.
