Goofy Chicken Tricks...big fish stories...;-)

Honestly, I'm trying to get away from hatching envy. But I thought it might be fun to get a list of the silly things our birds have done...

So-----Arriving home from shopping one day, I walked in to find a hen sitting on my dining room table. She clucked very pleasantly at me and I clucked back less pleasantly. Put her out with her friends. I did a walk through of the house to check for droppings and found some in the guest bedroom closet. Back of the house. No evidence in master bedroom but DD's room showed some signs. Working my way back to the front of the house, past the dining room, I spotted a small poo type object on the kitchen counter beside the rice cooker. Went over to clean that up and LO! An Egg!! Yup. She came in and laid an egg for me on the kitchen counter. Considerate gesture, but I didn't really want a repeat. House cleansed now I went looking for a point of entrance, suspecting the cat door into the basement. Laughing myself silly. Sure enough, there she was again, head in the cat door, ready to come back in! Never in my life have I met a more secure chicken!!

Since the cat door is really a basement window almost shut we simply rearranged the outside to make it less chicken friendly, but I'll never forget that polite welcome home...Too funny. And she remembered a guest gift like the well raised lady she was...

OMG I am laughing so hard I about peed myself.

It was really surreal....too funny to have her there to welcome us home. But I know I'm not the only one with stories like this...

I cant beat that one. Or even come close.

I use to have 7 free range chickens they roosted in a big cedar tree well my roo was fond of this one hen and he wanted so bad to sit next to her. She hated him and every night before dark she was first in the tree. That roo would get up on the same limb right next to her on the outside of the limb.
This slick girl would stand up and move him over he would ablige each time she moved a little futher and sat down and a little futher and he moved over a little more and a little more until CRASH down he would come. Every night it went on her slowly moveing and crash down he would come he did after a few times sit with another lady but i laugh myself silly over the polite way she got him off her limb.

Thanks for this thread Grow we all need a little funny.

Harmony that is to funny also. I can actually see that one happening.

I wouldn't mind getting eggs delivered right to my kitchen!

She wasn't really welcome to use the guest bedroom as a lav, but the rest was pretty cute!

Love the Roo off the branch story, Har! Love can be so hard...lol

The first year that we had our Labrador Moose, was just agfer my husband had gotten me a new flock of chickens. The weather grew warm enough to move them out of the house into the coop. WHen the chickens were large enough I started letting them out of their coop each day into the fenced in back yard.
I was working in the herb garden on the other side of the house and went inside to awnser the phone. As I passed the living room, I noticed 3 chickens on the comfortably on the couch watching Martha Stewart.

I thoght that was pretty odd, even for this house, so I booted them all back outside and went back to the garden. A trip inside to the bathroom found 2 more chickens in the living room. Hmmm, I was beginning to see a pattern here. I rounded everybody up and told them firmly to STAY OUTSUDE. They looked at me with total exasperation and wandered off.

The next trip in was un eventfull with only the dog sleeping on the couch. Then I made my big mistake. I went to the grocery store. Three hours later, I came home to find the entire living room and kitchen full of rather angry chickens. No sign of the dog.

dropped the groceries when I heard a terrible commotion out in the utility room. There was Moose dragging an unco-oprative chicken backwards through the doggy door.

He must have figgured that since they were RAISED in the house, then they must BELONG in the house. Thank goodness he is such a gentle giant, there was never even a missing feather. I finially had to spray them with pepper spray to keep him from retrieving them. We had the only pre-seasoned chicken in town!

now that tops it. that is to funny

the world's most faithful retriever!!!lolol. That's beautiful!

This is great.. I LOVE crazy chicken stories.

I'm outside in the garden area.. squatted down with a chicken on my knee.. talking to it and petting it...with my other arm totally stretched out up in the air cause I was smoking a cigarette... Then my fingers are burning and my cigarette is sticking out of the mouth of one of my Ameracaunas and she is running off with it... Holding it correctly! She jumped up and pulled it right through my fingers!
Oh to have had a camera!

the best i can do is one time a chicken was lying on the ground and she looked in pain i picked her up and a egg came out and landed on my shoe and broke and i got yolk all up my leg

This thread is hilarious!!!

This is a great thread!
