In one of the nesting areas, I found two tiny, plastic toys. One is a black and white collie and the other a small, brown, plastic cow.
In further rag-news, at the base of the porch steps, I found a small, child's black sock. It is being subjected to the rag-treatment. It's in a new place every time I see it. Sometimes it's inside out.
Do you ever witness chickens congregating, often breaking apart when they see you or other humans approach? Sure it's toys and childrens socks now, but soon they'll be hoarding circuit boards and soldering irons. Don't underestimate their chickintelligence. You'll be getting egg timers instead of eggs, mark my words.
If it stops when you are around,
I wonder if you put a cardboard dummy of your self out there, would it continue? lol
then your neighbors might think your into yourself though
Pssssttt.... As I've mentioned before in other posts (no one takes me seriously) It's chicken conspiracy man! They know we're onto them so don't look directly at the chickens.
