What Do Your Chickens Complain About?

[lbgreenfield]

Funny thread! Yes, they do find things to complain about don't they. Shows how well they have you trained!

They have trained me well!! Haha!!

My Sapphire Gem, Poppy, complains loudly if I don't let her partake of my meals. Jumped from the deck railing right onto my arm to get at my peanut butter and jelly sandwich last week! I promptly shook her off, and then had to go inside to refill my drink because Poppy hadn't shaken herself off after a dust bath and thus got dirt in my water.
Lefty, the very handsome Mille-feuille D'Uccle cockerel, whines after I run him off as a reaction to his attacking my feet (I say "attacking," but really, he more skids right by them, all fluffed up).
And my cute little Brown Dutch Bantam cockerel, Zapraska, growls and screams at anything airborne, including an egg, but I don't know if that really qualifies as "complaining."
Honestly, all of my birds complain about one thing or another. The guinea fowl are especially loud about it.

My chickens LOVE peanut butter and jelly sandwiches too! They love all food really, just like their human mother

Ya I've also got a few hens that scream for someone to get off her favorite nest immediately then run away screaming louder to warn the others I'm there to kill them all when I run in to save the day.

My favorite bantam roo magoo complains like a sobbing baby if I've forgotten his honey sandwich.
Songbird my favorite dusty chantecler bcm cross complains that someone drank from her private watering dish and shes dying of dehydration and I would have realized that if I loved her more.
Princeton my old English game cock complains in song if I said goodnight to anyone after I said goodnight to him.
I could go on and on but I'm starting to see an embarrassing pattern emerging here.

Hahaha, “from her private watering dish...and I would have realized that if I loved her more.” That gave me a good laugh!

My chickens complain if it rains. Or snows. Or the wind blows.
They complain if the puppies get too rowdy anywhere near their run. Or if the cats drink out of their water.
But their biggest complaint is when my grandkids are eating at the picnic table, and nobody's sharing with the poor starving chickens...

Haha I'm glad I stopped sharing there.

Poor starving chickens
People never believe me when I tell them my chickens beg like dogs! Sometimes I call mine vultures because they’re always lurking for food scraps...always...lurking...

Oh, and they REALLY complain if I wear my hot pink muck boots. And heaven forbid I listen to the radio outside!

The only complaints I get are when I fail to open the coop door "on time." I usually open the door at sunrise every morning for them to free range but God forbid I decide to have my coffee first and am 15 min late.
