…if you look out the French doors in your kitchen and see a chicken waiting to come in.
Good grief.
I complained to my hubby about the ridiculous snail population in our neighborhood. If you walk across the lawn while there’s still dew on it, it’s like walking on eggshells. Crunch Crunch as you crush the hundreds of snails traversing the lawn on the way to my flower beds. They’re eating everything in sight. Hubby’s solution was to get up at the butt crack of dawn to drive an hour roundtrip to a feedstore to buy me a chicken.
A freakin’ chicken!
Our dog, which is about the same size as the chicken, just sniffed some butt and went on his merry way. The chicken, however, refuses to leave my doorway and tries to run into the house every chance it gets.
A freakin’ chicken!
Oh, my!!!! :lol::lol::lol:
by Emma April 30th, 2005 at 12:59 pmLOL! A duck would have been more effective (and cuter) They love to eat snails and slugs!
However, that IS a cute chicken! *g*
by Larissa April 30th, 2005 at 1:16 pmI’ve heard they make good pets.
And it seems to get along with the dog. Ideal!
by Charlene April 30th, 2005 at 1:52 pmA chicken?? LOL. Well…okay…
I’ve been getting wild mallards at my bird feeder. No, we don’t live near water…
by kacey April 30th, 2005 at 2:05 pmWell, that is something you don’t see everyday! I wonder how long the chicken will stick around?
by Gina April 30th, 2005 at 2:44 pmOh thank goodness. I’m not the only one with wacky animals stories!
by Jill April 30th, 2005 at 7:08 pmAwww, your husband is such a romantic. *snicker* Hope he’s right and the chicken eats snails. Ewww.
by Amy K. April 30th, 2005 at 7:31 pmlol - we have 5 chickens, DH built them a little chook house. He figured it was easier to get chickens than to get the kids a dog, plus we get yummy eggs.
I think your chicken is coming in the house cos she is lonely. Maybe you should get another one:wink:
by Jaynie RI think I would have tried bordering my yard with crushed shells first, but hey, chickens are cool!
Except for the feet.
by Shannon May 1st, 2005 at 9:30 amNow that’s an original present. Not every dh would go buy a chicken for their wife!:grin:
by Teresa May 1st, 2005 at 10:10 amYeah, it’s kinda sweet. In a bizarre, wierd kind of way.
*g*
by SylviaAww. He bought you a chicken. That was very sweet!
I’ve never experienced chickens, but we do have a few roosters that wander loose through our neighborhood on occasion. But the one that got me was when I heard the gobblegobble of wild turkeys outside my friend door.
