Poor girls, they were completely out of their element. Must have been someones pets if they were able to be caught so easily. @caychris I hope you can find out what shelter and give them a good home.

They squatted for the police, lol.

I think I've determined that my rooster hates jeans. I almost never wear them, but I did when my dad and I were working on adding an external nest box to the coop and when I was putting the chickens up, I got flogged! He's NEVER flogged me. NEVER. Next couple days, I wore jeans UNDER the maxi dresses I'm normally in (jeans don't show, but I wanted a little extra protection). No flogging. Last night, I had on a skirt and the jeans were visible. Flogged. Apparently I'm just not *me* in jeans.

Funny but yes I have seen this happen

I had a Welsummer rooster that hated cell phones. I got flogged once by him when I was talking on my cell phone while collecting eggs. Tried it again to see if it was really the phone, and yep, he had that look in his eye coming towards me. I hung up and put the phone in my pocket and he stopped instantly. He never once flogged me again, and the cell phone stayed inside after that.

Critters. They're nutty sometimes. My Rottie hated anything that obscured the head (hats, beards, sunglasses, hoodies). I could wear a hat, but NOBODY else could.

@SilkiesForEver vetericyn makes an eye drop version of the spray I used on my wood ducks chest. If there's any kind of infection in there it'll knock it out. Keep us posted on the condition and best of luck.

That is really interesting.

Having a response to certain colors is not uncommon in birds. My turkey cranberries hates blue and red.

I have an egg eater. (actually probably a couple) Ive been out of oyster shell in the coop for a bit now so I think that might be it. They usually gobble up broken eggs so that might have been a catalyst too. We pulled the egg eater and put her on time out (put her in the outside brooder cage) Might explain a bit of why the egg production is down. She was caught all yellow faced.
