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

[HalfMadMommy]

I'm new to this chicken "thing". When my chicks were about 2-3 weeks old, I put a perch that I had made out of a couple of leftover 2x4 chunks into the dog kennel they're in. They were scared of it. I stuck one on top of the perch and it jumped off an ran away. I said "Awww, don't be a chicken!" I didn't even realize what I said until it came out of my mouth. I laughed so hard I cried! LOL!

So far so good though, I have 3 chicks, no problems at all, yet

They are about 5 weeks now.

2 weeks ago i told my brother i got 2 ducks, just after getting 8 more chickens 2 days earlier... he then says what i thought was dumb (til i realized im a crazy chicken person) he sais "so are you done with chickens now?" haha no, not even close

yesterday as i was finishing a horse stall to chicken coop conversion one of my ladies pooped on the extension cord and without thinking that i would never get a straight answer from any of them i say "oh c'mon who pooped on the cord, seriously who pooped on the cord???" they all denied it and walked away clucking.

Went out to eat at a restaurant with hubby. We didn't have any leftovers, but I asked for a box for the kale garnish. The waitress stopped and looked at me puzzled. I told her, " I have a bunch of chickens and they will love this". She came back with a to go box stuffed with kale with "for the chickens" written on the top ^_^

that's awesome! i love it when someone extends a kindness and turns it into something truly exceptional! she's a very thoughtful person, and funny too... bet she tells everyone the story of the chicken people for some time!

My hubby always gets pooped on by the chicks so he says to me, "You must not be good enough to get pooped on." >.< lol

"Aaawww don't they have the cutest fuzzy bums?!"

"My ears aren't food!"

Have to use that last one near daily. Same with:
"MY TOES Are NOT worms!!"
or
"It may be shiny, but that doesnt mean it tastes good!" (My birds like to peck at my earrings and class ring..)
