      Mine say that too Usually lots of times which I take to mean "I'm going to lay an egg. Are you listening!! I'm just going to lay an egg. I'm laying my egg now, I said I'm layiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing myyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeg. I've laid my egg. Do you want to see my egg? Oy, she's just pinched my egg again!!! Every day when I've laid an egg she comes in and pinches it!! "

          I love talking to my hens, although when one of them pecked my nose last night I'm not sure what they made of the response. It went something like 'Ow you bugger, that bloody hurt!!!' I was too shocked to translate that into chook.

            "stop pecking my bootlaces... and sod off, this is MY biscuit" could they let me know ??

            It's like Alfred Hitchcock the second I set foot out of the back door with a cuppa these days

              I think you may need to say that in 'cat' rather than chicken. Unfortunately the appropriate phrase doesn't translate well into written form.

                bir bir bok bok bok bok (clucked quickly whilst walking up & down the wrong side of the garden fence) means: you're feeding the others and I can't get back in the garden!

                  Have they ever hopped on your knee and stuck their head into your tea for a taste? Mine did that once so I stopped taking my brew in the run.

                      My grand-daughter - now aged 3 with an impressive vocabulary - used to call chicken bok-bok when she had it in a sandwich aged not-quite-two. Don't they learn a lot in a year or two?

                      She is eagerly awaiting my prospective chicken ownership. We are still studying coop and run construction at the moment - I use the royal we here!

                          almost...
                          I left my cuppa on the doorstep and came back to find that beaks had been in it !!!
                          Tuna sandwiches are fair game too - have to stand up whilst eating them else you end up with 3 hens on each knee

                            I have that problem with cats and tea.. one of mine loves cold tea so it's best to drink it quick and never leave it to cool unattended or it's liable to have a nose or a paw in it..
                            I have a dream:
                            a dream that, one day, chickens can cross roads without having their motives questioned.

                              The horses in the paddock at the end of our garden try to do that. Grass-coloured horse-slobber in your tea isn't inviting!

                                What a lovely story, Snager. I can't wait 'till we get out hens (4 weeks on Saturday). Thanks for the phrase book, Maureen, it should come in useful.
                                Into each life some rain must fall........but this is getting ridiculous.
