    where chickens dare to tread..
    I have four little ones (4 days old.) Whenever the other three settle down to sleep, the 4th (an Araucana) starts cheeping as loud as she possible can. It looks like she's yelling at them! Um... what's that about? [​IMG] Why would she not want them to sleep? I may be anthropomorphizing a bit here...

    I named one of mine that does that after my husband since he always texts in caps lock (I've explained to him caps lock is yelling [​IMG]) she had her capslock on last night geesh... 1:30am...

    Quote:Literally laughing out loud, both at the image and the concern about anthropomorhization. I've had a realization lately that attempting to have such a conversation with non- chicken enthusiast just doesn't work [​IMG]
