Well, I'm glad you haven't sh*t canned it yet! Always love to hear your stories and see your chicken pictures. Or any pictures, really. It's hard for me to keep track of too many threads, as well. If this one stays calm than this is where I prefer to be.
Speaking of chickens, I've got a broody hen. In March. In Montana

Can't really blame her. Hard to know what time of year it is when it's 63°f. I do wonder if she knows what she's doing, though. Can't say chickens are stupid. Cheap Shot and I haven't had a run in for quite some time, either. That's been nice. He sleeps on the bin where I keep the chicken feed, so I have to shoo him off every night. I'll take a picture because I wanted to ask you what you thought of his "reaction". His neck feathers go up kind of hackle style, but he never acts too bothered. I turn my back on him...no big deal.
