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

So I never did this before:
I was thinking about giving my chickens more feed when I get home an someone asked me if I was hungry an this is my response
"Ya man I'm starving lets go get so feed"

"look honey, our Speckle is turbo charging again!", our 12 weeks pullet like to run happy laps while flapping her wings around the garden first thing in the morning.

"Again, ladies, there are 4 nesting boxes. The two of you don't need to cram yourselves into that one box at the same time!"

"Gotta get the eggs before we have a pile-up."

(In grocery store) "wait, need to buy some tomatoes for the girls!" (Insert husband rolling eyes here)

Don't set the alarm until I check on "the girls"

Check your shoes for chicken poop before coming inside.

Stop pecking my mole

Look for osprey before you let the girls out of the run.

Now, in Norwegian the word for hen altso is a modern word for vagina. This, as you can imagine, leads to alot of possible misinterpretations around our house. Like this winter in one of the coldest periods: "Mom, would you come help me put vasoline on the hens so they don't get frostbites?" or "did the hens get anything today?(referring to table scraps, get your friggin mind out of the gutter!!)".

"You're eating my fertile hatching eggs, mom!!!

"

"Gotta get home and lock the girls up in the barn"

"They went like this BAAAWK bock bock bock BAAAWK bock bock"

my daughter was telling my friend about her chickens. My friend asked " Do you eat them" My daughter replied so straight faced " You don't eat family"

My 5-yrold is used to us eating the livestock chickens (we have some banties for pets, but the bigger ones go to the table) and she once went straight up to one of the teachers at preschool and told her "we ate Patrick for dinner yesterday! He tasted really good!".

From my fiancée: "look at that cozy lookin carpet of chicks! Makes you wish they were huge enough that we cannon ball right into the pile! " as he said thei the one awake chick did just that.
