Wife is furious!

[MarkJr]

Setting here enjoying a nice cup of coffee. Knock, knock.... wife goes to front, looks out window, nobody there. She opens the door to our broody standing with 4-5 of her spawn. She shuts the door then chews on me for ‘spoiling the darn chickens.’

Knock, knock..... I open the door and hand the broody a handful of Cheerios.

Tried to convince wife the bird was pecking at morning bugs. She still isn’t buying it.

My chickens knock on the door looking for handouts too! They know how to work the system...

 

[TwoCrows]

They know where the goodies are stashed.

She should be happy they are well mannered enough to at least knock!

We have deer in the area, in the winter they go door to door. I have seen 2 bucks encourage a 3rd to go to the door and ask for snacks. These were not babies, but actual bucks with horns.

Sometimes the bucks are more civil than the does.

 

[LadiesAndJane]

Animals know where the good people live!

 

[Folly's place]

The question is; when will you be living out there with the chickens?
'Happy wife, happy life!'

Yeah that wouldn't happen but once down here. Somebody have those antlers hanging on the wall.

We keep the doors closed. Last time she paraded all 12 of her spawn in the back door, across the dining room into the kitchen. THEN had the audacity to sqwawk at her when she herded them back out.

My broody is the ONLY one that doesn’t get the business end of a broom to teach them to stay outside.

My granny didn't care if it was her chickens, papa's hunting hounds, or us 2 grandboys. We've all seen the wrong end of a broom more than once. I've seen that woman stare down a full grown bull.

She spoiled all of us but she didn't put up with any crap.
