They Were Just About to Get the Poker Chips and Sit Down at the Table

Jan
13

You knew this would happen, that one day I would walk into my living room and find THIS.

And you knew just whose fault….

….it was gonna be.

Because she’s prone to this sort of activity. (See the video of Spice opening the door.)

Not that she seemed concerned about the results of her behavior…

….during the whole time….

….I spent chasing the crooked little hen….

….out of my house!

It’s a Ball Blue Book Project day! Today’s Ball Blue Book is sponsored by Robyn Anderson at Crooked Acres. Visit her here.

We had a cat like that only it would get out the window by hooking its claws in the screen of the window and open the screen to get out. Thank goodness we lived in a basement apartment at the time. He sure lived up to his name…. Houdini. lol. (BBB)

I hadn’t thought that about how hard it is to chase a chicken in the direction you want them to go. The are so tricky when they want to bolt. She may think she is a cat but she is not box trainable. BBB

Suzanne,
Drag out those fabric scraps and make the ‘crooked little hen’ one of those Banty diapers, they fit around the wings, under and down in the appropiate place..there are some patterns on the Internet..then let the poor thing hang around the porch and come in once in a while…at least until warm weather arrives…
That ‘Spice’ is such a sweet cat…very smart…I bet she is a great ‘mouser’, too…
Cats raised with chickens are usually good about leaving them alone…but I never trust them around chicks until they are with the rest of the flock…It’s a natural thing…
Just like me…I can’t be trusted around a pan of fried chicken.LOL

Back in the olden olden days people used to let their chickens wander in the house, didn’t they? I’m thinking of a old Louisa May Alcott book that I love, “Eight Cousins”. It has a scene where the main characters visit a farm and in order to eat at the table, they had to chase the chickens off it. What’s the problem? LOL!

Yes, I have been waiting for this one. Ever since you posted the door opening video.
You need to let Spice know that she can’t invite her friends in, until you get up.
This way you can screen them i.e. nobody gets in if they’re wearing a mask or body armor.

Spice: Woman, I caught it, you clean and cook it!

I had a goat that was always trying to open my doors – she would “mouth” them. She also stood and supervised any outside work – stealing any tools she could get her mouth around. Here helpers were a cat named “Pearl” and a dog named “Ella”. And a rooster with no name. Loved to play “King of the Mountain” on my car. It was too funny.

The little crooked hen that could….with a little help from her friends. Priceless!
It’s a conspiracy for sure
I’d love to be entered in the BBB drawing please.

I used to have a pet chicken that we let in the house. She loved to “talk” on the phone.
Please add me to the BBB list.

How cute! The poor dog on the right has this “I’m not responsible look” You know, there is a group on yahoo for house chickens and has lots of people who have chickens as house pets! Maybe henny thinks she’s joining in!

I’d love to win the BBB as I can’t afford to buy it due to job losses and massive medical bills.

Thank you so much to the sponsor!

I’m sorry! I’m laughing! I have cats that open door, too. I can just picture all those animals around a poker table, smoking and drinking.

Too funny!

Please enter me in the BBB drawing!

Thank you!
