Lunchtime snack today, I started pouring hot water into a cup of Chicken Noodles
As I was pouring the water, I smiled and looked at my chickens and said "Hey Look - Chicken Flavoured ! my favourite !" ... which was meant to convey to my chickens how much I loved anything to do with chickens, their day to day care, their thoughts, feelings and life goals.
Didnt quite go as planned. They looked at me sideways, and said "Chicken Flavoured ? How do you people KNOW what Chicken tastes like ??? Hey ?"
I feel like my relationship with my chickens might be permanently damaged, after letting these words slip, even though the intent was genuine and delivered with care. It doesnt matter that the "flavouring" content is just herbs and spices, and doesnt necessarily contain any actual chicken content. It's just flavouring after all.
But still - fair enough. Imagine if dog food promoted "Human Blood Flavoured" varieties ?
Does anyone know how long do Chickens tend to remember things ?
I know for example that Elephants have long memories, so that might explain why "Elephant Flavoured" noodles are not a thing. But then Goldfish are notorious for short memories, and there is no "Goldfish Flavoured" noodle on the market either, so maybe its not that..
Im hoping the chickens will forget about this unfortunate episode in a few days. In the meantime, I have covered up the labels on anything in the pantry that mentions "Chicken Flavoured"
TL;DR: Chickens misunderstood my comment, wondering how long it will take for the incident to blow over and be forgotten.
