"Why are you looking at me like that..."

[aoxa]

Why can't we all have understanding partners when we bring a chicken indoors for whatever reason (whether it be because they are sick, freezing or just want a visit?)

that's so weird (in a good way) cause I just had the thought, "I wish i could bring my girls (2) inside, since it's cool and very rainy". I just got them Saturday.

My husband, pretty close to the worst germ-a-phobe I know, work completely freak out if I brought them inside!

I wanted to make my Silly Lilly a house chicken because she's mentally/visually impaired and gets picked on, but mom said no.

My dh wants to make our fav chicken "wild chicken" a house chicken..!! If we didnt go to a job I would be all for it!! Shes the best vacuum cleaner ever!! She just barges in when she pleases when they are free ranging and him will scoop her up and hold her or get her something out of the fridge....and he said he wouldn't like the chickens

So I asked dh last night and he so totally shocked me. I think he does this sometimes just to keep me on my toes. Anyway, instead of just outright saying, 'HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND!? ABSOLUTELY NOT!", he answered with,'for how long?' 'you have to catch one first'.

He has a valid point. My two girls are a little flighty. I'm hoping they will settle down some after they've been here a while. they were abandoned for 2 mos and I've had them less than a week.

SOoooo funny! Our hot water heater went out (on and off for the last 3 weeks!!!!!!!!!!!) and so my landlord has been in and out and I was wondering what he would think of the brooder in the bathroom but it seems they are just as crazy as we are because he didn't even blink

We are in an old farmhouse in the country and they have a bunch of animals too.

Our brooder is in a large dog crate at the moment, wrapped in cardboard around the sides. Our bathroom is long and narrow, the only one in the house, so there was no putting chickens in the tub. Instead we have a wire cage with cut off zip ties sticking out that we have to sidle past very carefully to get into the shower or we could slice some tender parts of our anatomy

DH is as bad as I am, well ok, not quite. But I have to say that I am looking forward to getting the cage built into the shed so we can have our tiny bathroom back

Back in my vet assistant days... it went like this:

"Why is there a box of possums in the tub?"
"I had to move them to make room for the squirrels"
"The squirrels?"
"The squirrels that are in the bedroom........"
"There are squirrels in the bedroom? I thought there were kittens in the bedroom."
<smiling that 'silly you' smile> "No darling, the kittens are big enough that they are loose in the utility room now."
"Ahh. Um, should I ask what's in the carrier by the door?"
"Best not to." followed by a big hug.
