Who says chickens can't talk? We thought this chap looked as if he could be saying something for sure! Thanks to Hillfooter for the photo.
All you need to do is say what you think he is saying - as long as it's clean, that is. Being serious, this is a family friendly forum so no naughty words!
We've got prizes - 3 copies of The Chicken Chronicles by Alice Walker (http://www.poultry.allotment-garden.org/cara/400/the-chicken-chronicles-by-alice-walker/)
This competition is open to ALL members - one entry per member.
This competition will run until the evening of Sunday 26th June
At the closing date we will add a poll for members to vote on and the most popular entries will be the winners.

Hmmmm. Bit cold for strutting around and pecking. Heck with it, I'll phone out for pizza and curl up with a DVD of Chicken Run.
-

I'm sure if I start from right up here I can beat 5.6 seconds on my next slalom run!

Pesky kids, playing Knock Down Ginger again :mad:
[or substitute whatever you called the game where you knocked at a door and ran away ... ]
-
Rumpole searched for the seven dwarfs, before realizing it's not THAT Snow White at the door!
-
Them turkeys next door are not going to see this as a good omen !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
i dont think i will be heading out in the long run
-
"Your turn to get the paper Mabel." Said the less than chivalrous Rumpole.
-
"It`s a brass monkey screaming !"
-
Yay!! Come on kids - lets build a snow chicken!
-
After finishing his book "Cockerels - Leading from the front", Rumpole looked outside and decided to try laying just once more.
(looks like a cockerel - wouldn’t be very funny if its a hen - im a chicken beginner!)
-
Hmm, this wasn't a good day to give up sugar...
-
heeeeeeerrrrrrssss'ss johny!!!!!!
-
Now you are sure this pop hole is safer than the one that Marie Antoinette used aren't you?
-
Mmmm I may have to give up smoking, I am not allowed to smoke inside but I don`t fancy going out there!
-
Comb and Brush-up? You’ve got to be joking. I’m not going out in this!
This is one chicken that's not going to be frozen!
I'm staying put.
-
Rumpole's scarey thought as he looked out on the snow, "Hope no one fancies a change for Christmas dinner!!!"
-
I know she said she was going to dust the coop with diatomaceous earth for lice, but this is going overboard a bit!
-
I wish some one had told me we were moving to the north pole >:(
-
I think i`ll wait 'till the council have gritted before i cross the road.....
-
I'm going outside. I may be some time....
-
What the heck is this :ohmy: :ohmy:
-
*** this, I'm off back to bed!
-
Own up - who's taken my boots? I left them here last night.
-
I know, I know, I am a free range hen, but would you go out bare footed in that? I thought not!!

Rumpole started to suspect, as he peered out of his beach hut, that the bloke at the travel agency had lied about those endless miles of white sand.

This is going to be a right toughee, so many good captions to choose from.
Good luck everybody xx
-
Voting is now OPEN and will last for seven days.
We have 3 great prizes to give away and as this is a very difficult competition to vote for I have given you 5 votes each
. . Cast them all at the same time before submitting.
-
Nightmare ... too much choice ... wanders away holding head in hands :lol:
-
Observation - Some of the captions have 'adwords'
Comment - this may make some captions stand out, or make voters prejudiced against them because they hate adwords so much.
Suggestion - Would suggest that in future caption competitions that adwords are disabled from the 'ballot paper' so that all captions appear equal.

Not technically possible as far as I know SS.
Individuals can dissable them on their own computer though.
It's only a game anyway. :)

Well done Plumcrumble great idea to invoke Oats famous vote and well done everyone else for such inventive suggestions.
I actually managed to miss the competition so I enjoyed reading all the captions just now.
In fact the real "Rumpole" was actually called "Rumpel" after Rumpelstiltskin as those from the poultry section will know that Modern Game cockerels have very long legs which would have been useful in this situation!
The actual winner of the original competition was in fact the Queen, nee the "Millers daughter", according to the brothers Grimm!
"To-day do I bake, to-morrow I brew,
The day after that the queen's child comes in;
And oh! I am glad that nobody knew
That the name I am called is Rumpelstiltskin"
..........and the original prize the, Queen's child, of course was never won!
I can reveal what Rumpel was actually saying was.............,
"Oh ####. that's the last time I believe Michael Fish!"
but John wouldn't let me tell you that being a family site :ohmy:

Sorry just remembered what he was actually saying was,
"Don't bother with the cornflakes girls I think I'll just have scrabbled eggs this morning unless someone wants to bring the milk in?!
