HAHAHA yes PMS. I had a trio of cochins who turned into totel B's and I rehomed them because I thought they were just mean birds...the very next morning they laid eggs and the person who has them says they are very sweet...I screamed when I heard this

Way to many chickens to remember, 7 runner ducks, 2 Turkeys, and 1 huge BO roo.
Enjoying my little farm surrounded by city.

My RIR who has always been skittish and temperamental has become a lot friendlier since she has started laying. She's still not exactly a cuddle bug, but will now tolerate petting and sitting on my lap. On the other hand, my BR who has always been so friendly and snuggly has become grumpy and obnoxious! She growled at me the other day when I tried to pet her, and has taken to screeching and screaming at the top of her lungs. I know they are hormonal, but my goodness, talk about personality changes!!
