Happy? Oh yes
Mad? Possibly

Hi Barron Jules here
We used to adopt groups of x battery hens (the older ladies) - in one group i was sitting watching them settle in to their new environment and one jumped on mu lap - nobody else just her. She continued to do that right up until the last time i saw her - i named her 'friendly'.
But she had feathers, unlike the handsome metal one you have (is bringing back memories of the Clangers and a strange looking dragon
Kind regards
Jules

Nice memory to have
Cuthbert is happy here, he's settled in nicely with Hubert the hedgehog
Iron Chicken came into my head. Spoken by Michael Palin in Clangers (I've watched that quite a lot with my son
that was palin... wow - wasnt he life of Brian in earlier/later times with his mates ? distant memories
Yes think it's a new series
in the early days of recovery i was placed in front of the telly and it was 'Sean The Sheep' ..... it odd as i have memories of it being absolutely fantastic. My husband has since bought me a couple of videos of 'Sean' but it dont seem the same at all now. As i am writing this i am now recalling i was on strong pain relief. That would do it.
Jules
Ha ha, yes kids programme's are bizarre
Now he is absolutely beautiful. I have a smaller one made of black steel with a solar belly, so he glows at night. But I have to say your Mr Chuffnut is in a different league.
There's a whole range of painted metal farm animals at our local garden centre and I'm always tempted to adopt one, but I already have a stone cat, tortoise and frog, and a metal chicken & dog so there's always a danger of creating a toy-town look which I wouldn't want ...................... 'tis quite a big garden though...................................................... ?
Love Cuthbert though ; has Curfew been introduced ? xx
Curfew swapped scents in the first minute. In the rubbing up against sense, not the peeing on sense
Phew ; close call !! Nobody loves a stinky chicken. It should be fine then, so long as Cuthbert knows his place & never crosses the sacred boundary to your knees. xx
He wont fit through the cat flap
Ha ha ! Had some doubts about what I said earlier so went down the garden to check on my chicken and, as I suspected, it isn't a chicken at all .............it's a very fat mouse (the one with a solar tummy) and whiskers & long nose. It's feet look a bit like chicken feet though (4 of course) and a cute twisty tail.
He's actually been under-appreciated so I might bring him to a prime spot, give him a name and reclassify him as an objet d'art !! xx
.............still v fond of Cuthbert (so soon). x
Mouse/chicken, easy mistake to make
You should call him, 'Merriment'
Merriment ?? (bit twee for a lad perhaps)
Mildew
Monstrous
Mumps
Macaroon
Ratty...........it's got to be Ratty plain & simple.
Anyway, we digress. You might consider planting Cuthbert's feet in concrete in case there are chicken thieves around. I live in a perfectly nice area but had my gargoyle stolen.................. xx
You can't call a mouse, Ratty!!! Are you insane? Consider my friendship withdrawn, I've never been so appalled
It's done. He looks like a rat and HE likes it............so see if I care !!
That is cool, I looked at buying a couple of metal sheep
Ooh, sheep, now I'd could happily have one of them!
They look cool I thought I could have a little flock in my garden ☆☆
I want one now
Ive seen them at a local store but I think they're also on ebay and amazon they have a black head and a white body and their bodies are layers of metal discs. Honestly they will look fab with your chicken, if you can't find one let me know and I'll have a look and send you the link
Nice, I'll have a look. One wandering in the splendour of the baronial gardens would look great
Lol love it your on my wavelength
Just had a look on ebay for you and when I put metal sheep in it came up with a plethora of sheep, you can even get a family of them. They look so cool
I'm on the case...
Awe Cuthbert is lovely! Nice name too I must say, very posh! I do however believe that chickens don't like to be alone, you usually see them in a clutch or flock or brood or whatever you want to call it! Time for some more shopping Andy! Hahaha! Cluck, cluck, hurry along now! xx
Peachy, you've clearly, CLEARLY forgotten about Hubert the hedgehog who resides outside with him
Oh no that's not getting you off the hook that one, Cuthbert will only feel at home there with one of his own kind! Hahaha! Makes me think of.....Old Baron C had a farm, E,I,E,I,O and on that farm he had a hedgehog, E,I,E,I,O!!! Are you happy?......So if you're happy and you know it, clap your hands...yeehaaa!!! Get out and get Cuthbert a brother or sister, c'mon now, don't be miserable!!! xx
I refuse to have a shed-load (shed-load being the collective noun for metal chickens) of chickens roaming the grounds annoying the cat and just generally being a trip hazard. It's NOT happening. So there.
You've just confirmed what an old bore you are Andy, oh deary me, a few metal chicks is too much for the Baron himself!....until the next time you're out shopping and spy another one......we could put bets on that! Hahaha! xx
When I was in hospital as my family drove to visit me they passed a metal giraffe in a garden. It cheered them up each day and would like one in our garden but they are very pricey. Metal animals are great and don't take too much food or need taking for a walk.
Glad to hear it!
