Your favorite argumentative, broken-ribbed Engineer amateur chicken guy here. Still hobbled, but getting better.
Have you ever had one of your birds try to protect you?
My always grumpy, bitey SLW pullet Frosty was harassing me as I cleaned the cage this morning. She's probably extra irritable because she's not getting as much out time while I'm hurt. But she was being a real jerk...crowding my arm, making grumbly noises and giving me those painless but annoying hen bites every time a finger tip became isolated from the rest of my hand.
My favorite, Bean...the BR pullet who loves nothing more than to sit with me in my chair for hours on end...looked up at me, walked over and pecked Frosty hard on the back, and then looked back up at me again, as if to say "was that witch giving you trouble"? Frosty cackled and ran to the other end of the cage.
I love that a Gallus gallus domesticus...has my back.
