We clearly haven't tried everything. But we're at the end of our rope. Your advice, please.

Good point. Was worried about the same thing. If I could hang on long enough before the spouse gives her away, I was thinking of a basic Conditioning approach: like, every time she screams, a sound-activated strobe light goes off for a few seconds to distract her. Eventually, she makes the connection. My wife finds this to be a little bit too over-the-top. But I would hate to see her go. The chicken. Not my wife. Well, I'd hate to see her go, too.

The problem now being, lights could set her off too. Or if she likes the light, screaming to get it going!
