I love my chickens... but....

b-mark · 06-29-2008, 06:23 AM

NOT in the house! Geeeesh.

Had front/back door open this morning while watering flowers and washing Sophie's buckets... saw one chicken hop up the steps an proceed through the front door... went chasing after her.. meanwhile, 2 others were already in the house.

They thought it was a new improved hen house.

I love how the dog is just standing there, watching you more than them. Gooooood guard dog! Goooood guard dog!

carlagsd · 06-29-2008, 07:12 AM

The dog has this look on it's face like, "Don't look at me, I didn't do it!"

HorseMomToSage · 06-29-2008, 08:39 AM

He's saying "um, mom-the chickens are IN THE HOUSE! I know I'm not supposed to chase them but they are IN THE HOUSE-MOM!!"

It must be the day for chickens in the house.

I found my Cuckoo Muran rooster in my house when I came back from feeding the animals this morning. Of course my dog, Sissy, can open the door as it has a handle. She let him in.
He has been staying in the sunroom as the other roosters are beating him up but I found him under the TV stand. When I call him, he answered. He didn't want to leave. It took a little encouragement from me to go back out to the sunroom.

lol your chickens were looking for you

I love when my chickens see me and come running to see what goodies I brought them today.

Your dog is good with chickens! A few of my dogs are good but I have 2 that if they saw a chicken in the house it would be killed in an instant.

Too funny!!

My chickens do exactly the same thing, they're such little buggers!

b-mark · 06-29-2008, 05:00 PM

LOL... Yep, both my dogs don't bother with the chickens... Shelby (the one in the pic) is entirely USELESS as a farm dog and Cody is small.. so the chickens actually kick HIS butt when he goes near them

I had an animal attack (no clue, what.. no fur left behind, nothing) and lost 3 chickens this week. I'm actually wondering if these girls are just a bit more clingy than usual right now.

Ferronsgranny.. I don't know about you... but I draw the line at chickens and horses in the house!

Sunlei · 06-29-2008, 05:25 PM

B-Mark you had a animal take 3 chickens! I had one chicken dead last week, a big puff of feathers near the body. Some meat was stripped from bone. It was killed in the daylight, I think it was a hawk

Now my chickens act nervous, more clingie and run across any open ground to stay near cover. They are no longer care-free chicks-they have learned there is danger from the sky!

Those hens there match the decor very well...could put a few nest boxes in the kitchen, not have to walk for eggs!

That's exactly what it looks like he's saying!!

lovemycheyanna · 06-29-2008, 07:16 PM

The dog looks as if he's saying "HELLO?!?! what are you doing taking pictures of them?!?! Arent you going to do something about this???!!!"

Tango · 06-29-2008, 07:27 PM

Cute pic love your house.

farmergal · 06-29-2008, 08:07 PM

I don't see what the problem is. They look house trained to me.

PaintsQH · 07-01-2008, 06:00 AM

That picture is too cute. But I think I would have head for the hills. Im scared to death of Chickens and Roosters, and ducks, and crows

Dziggetai · 07-03-2008, 06:21 PM

Hahah that's awesome! I used to know someone who let chickens in the house ... they had poo all down their hall and when you opened the cupboard they kept sheets in there was a hen brooding in there! xD

Naudi2u · 07-08-2008, 10:44 PM

That reminds me why we don't have chickens! PS That looks like our GLD Protect but let them wander
