Kirislin Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 (edited) I have a house guest tonight. Nekos brother Arkey. He's so innocent, he doesn't live with chickens. Here he is eating his chicken drumstick and look at the 2 hecklers in the background working out how to steal his dinner, the bloody cannibals. 5F6A2324_1 by kirislin, on Flickr Edited September 17, 2015 by Kirislin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirislin Posted September 17, 2015 Author Share Posted September 17, 2015 (edited) ooops posted in wrong section. Am I going bonkers? I wrote the above comment because I thought I'd posted this in OT. Now I'm not sure if it's been moved and someone's playing with my head, or I posted it here all along. Perfect chance to use this.

Rascalmyshadow Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 (edited) Lol cute! Chickens are shockers for eating anything, the daughter of Betty Boop is my number 1 girl and she will steal from the dogs, cats, humans and will also try to swallow anything small that accidentally gets dropped. Before you took in my big girls I had problems giving the dogs bones outside, the girls wouldn't back down from two of my littlies.

dogbesotted Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 in my family law there is a rule : never fall a break a leg in the chook house for you would never survive.. H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katdogs Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 I have a plan to get a few chooks soon but I do remember how evil they can be. My cute little high school project chicky came home to rule the house, dogs and cats and wild rats for 12 years. She loved Pal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyCresties Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 (edited) Lol, watch your back Arkey, those chooks look sinister! in my family law there is a rule : never fall a break a leg in the chook house for you would never survive.. H So true! :laugh: Edited September 17, 2015 by CrazyCresties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirislin Posted September 17, 2015 Author Share Posted September 17, 2015 for the record, he ate it all, the chooks were a bit cautious because they've been warned off by my whippets in the past, but they recognised he was new and singled him out. I had to stand guard to make sure they didn't steal it from him, I did see him give them the evil eye a few times too. :laugh: Essie scored some by my mistake though. I pulled a bit of meat off for him on the 2nd drumstick because he was a bit tired and she ran up and grabbed it out of my hand. It was too big for her to immediately swallow and she had Betty and Tag chasing her. It was quite interesting that Tag was following her, my dogs normally ignore the chooks but he knew she stole it from me and so followed her for a bit. He must have been thinking since it was stolen it would belong to anyone who could get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denali Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 That is brilliant I am getting some chickens neck week actually :) Have the pen all set up and ready. Am hoping the dogs don't mind them. They don't chase the wild birds, so i am assuming all will be well so they can be free range while i am home.

Rascalmyshadow Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Anyone considering adding chickens to a place where there are resident dogs should look into breeds that are not skittish, less likely to make the dogs want to chase them.

Kirislin Posted September 18, 2015 Author Share Posted September 18, 2015 Arkey looks like he could eat several of those legs :) He's a picky eater. I coaxed him to eat 2 drumsticks. I even bought chicken giblets yesterday in the hope of fattening him a bit. Penny used to love them so I thought I'd tempt him with them. Nup, he wouldn't touch them, while all of mine were hovering like vultures saying give them to us! I eventually roasted them for him and he ate them oh so slowly. I suspect they had the texture of wet suit material, but he did like them cooked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
