I may have mentioned before that my husband is somewhat of an animal whisperer!
He has never met an animal, that I am aware of, that hasn't liked loved him.
So why would I think the chickens would prove any differently?
Have I mentioned when it is time for them to get back into the coop at night, all he does is say 'C'mon Girls' and the follow him. Single file like a good little flock, they follow him like devout worshippers.
It kinda makes me roll my eyes....
This is 'Roo', as I have been referring to her. Allen thinks am absurd - he said she isn't a rooster.
And here we have little Chicken Whisperer Junior in the making....

I have backyard chickens and I think my favorite thing about them is that they finish any leftovers we have so no food goes to waste! Oh, and I love their eggs too, of course. :-)
We have backyard chickens that we share with our neighbor. I love watching the kids interact with them. And I love watching them eat bugs. Weird, I know! LOL!
Even though we have chickens as part of our farm business, one of our daughters often has backyard chickens. She has not hatched any this year, but I think she'd really enjoy this magazine! Have a great weekend!
I don't yet have my own but I grew up with chickens for eggs and a set of fryers. This year my parents ordered a larger amount of cornish hens so I will get half of them for my freezer! :)
Where did your MSG post go?! I was looking forward to reading where you discovered MSG... but it has disappeared. I hope it reappears sometime soon. I love your posts.
Furry Bottoms :) It's coming...I accidentally published it instead of saving it - not finished yet...but next week sometime hopefully :)
I came here to read the msg post, but it has disappeared. I hope there was no trouble for you posting it. Have a good weekend anyway.
Me Me Me!!! We have chickens, as you well know by now... Oyvay, what isn't there to love about them? I mean, eggs are great, the free fertilizer, and the garden companionship. Although, they are causing me a headache... They ate my spinach (again!) but I still love them nevertheless....
I KNOW I SHOULDN'T BE SURPRISED, BUT OMG ! THAT IS TOO MUCH. GUESS MY GRANDBABY DOESN'T TAKE AFTER YOU. LOVE YOU MOM
I wish I could have BYC. I'm in the process of researching and writing a letter of petiton to the city council members, as we are a rural community.
well, from the looks of it, Chicken Whisperer is a good title...he's very gentle :-)
My favorite thing about having chickens is how quietly the coo when they're sleeping. I love it!!!
