I took the mirror down. My white EE was charging up to it, obviously to challenge that strange chicken. It was kind of funny because I could swear some of them were looking behind the mirror to see if any chickens were there. Thanks for all the advice and info. This is a great place to come...

I'm going to watch them and see their reactions, I certainly don't want any harm to come to them. I'm thinking that the response to a mirror might depend on the chicken that's looking. If any one of them starts pecking aggressively at the reflection or seems uneasy about it, down it comes. My...
