As I'm getting my lunch (a chicken-flavored soup cup), I said this:
"Hmm. I think I'll have chicken." Then I realize that the chicks are in their brooder just shortly away from me.
"Uh, yes. I think I'd like more chickens to keep. () I just love you guys!"
I didn't want them to think I was...
"Ha! I got you, Precious! You may be anti-social, but I know you love me! Now, let me hear that pretty cluck, not your angry cluck."- Said to my extremely anti-social hen who runs away when I come her direction. I don't know why she's so anti-social, but she's the only one who is.
