That referees their chicken's roost fights?

It goes something like this:

Bella, get in this coop! You can't dustbathe in the dark!
Brigid be quiet!
Jezebel just pick a spot, they're all the same!
Thor, if you peck Lil' Bit one more time you'll be in the soup pot!
Brigid hush!
No Chloe, you may not sleep in a nest box!
Brigid, hush your mouth!
Sunny, stop trying to push Lilith off the roost!
Brigid, pahleezeeeeee!
Thor, I already warned you once!
Dink, Snowy can sit there if she wants to!
Brigid, what is your problem?!
Bella, get in here! I told you the sun will be back tomorrow.
Brigid if you don't shut up your going in the pot with Thor!

I have a daughter so I've hosted many sleepovers. Chickens are worse!

Hahahaha, I've spent lots of time in the coop of an evening doing the same thing. Sometimes I hear these awful thumps when they knock each other off the roost. The other time I have to occassionally referee is when they all want to use the same nest box. Why? Just because.
 
You are not alone!

Some of my ramblings that are easily recallable:

Hannibal, stop stepping on Florentine!
That roost allows more than 8" for each of you!
Let me see your feet - my my - you have such fine big feet.
Phinny, if you peck me again, I'm going to hold you.
Why do you have to s_ _t on me after all I've done for you?
Don't peck Opal just because you're jealous of her gold feathers.
Awwwww, Prissy...you're such a darlin'. If Phinny pecks you, come let me know.
Omelet, I just don't understand why you are the only chicken who will eat these earthworms! I'm through with digging earthworms for a bunch of chickens who won't eat them!

The list is endless...plain and simple it's chicken love.
 
Gandalf? When will you learn not to pick fights with Dotty and Merle??? They will eat you for dinner.

Sarah? My shoulder and head are not your perch.

Dotty! Stop chasing snowflake!!

*waving a frying pan* Dotty! If you don't fly straight, you'll end up here!!

Tina, stop chasing Rhody.

Tina, stop terrorizing Snowflake..

Snowflake? Why are you staring at the wall?

No Sarah, My shoelace is NOT a worm.

No, guys. My hair is not something you pull on.

See guys...Rhonda KNOWS what a roost is for...

How funny

You bring back memories. Years ago I had almost 200 laying hens, and of course, a slew of roosters.

I used to sit outside the hen house at night and laugh my head off. It sounded like kids, squabbling about 'you touched my side of the roost'. I often wondered if it ever settled down, after I went in for the night.

lol same here I've had conversations with my girls:

"Okay girls, one of you is gonna go broody. Either you guys choose someone or I'm gonna choose for you. You will not like who I choose, so I advise for someone to get on those eggs NOW!"

"Come on guys! Time to come out!"

"ERRR!! (sounds like rooster) *clap* *clap* time to go back girls..."

"goodnight girls!"

"Matilda, let pipsqueak eat too"

"Mrs. Hen, Lucy, Matilda get back where you belong!"

lol honestly i think i've gone chicken crazy!
