I think sometimes we think up things that make sense to us, logically, but no one told the chickens. Here are two things that are logical and so must be true, but aren't:
1. Fluffy birds will suffer more in the heat and should never be allowed to get wet when it's cold.
2. Feeding eggs to chickens will make them eat the eggs in the nest.
The above just simply are not true. I have big fluffies and little non-fluffies and no one gave them the memo about the weather as the fluffies dont' suffer any worse in the heat and love getting wet in a winter rain. I toss broken or badly soiled eggs to my chickens a lot and never had an egg eater. They will not eat any that I haven't already cracked or broken for them.

Love those Orps!
I don't care why the chicken crossed the road, as long as mine don't!
