I went out to the coop at roost time, just in time to referree a roost fight. I speak fluent chicken, so I can translate for you:
Stop touching my wings!
You're sitting too close!
That's my roost! You better move or I'm telling!
It's my turn to sit next to Thor!
You're touching me again!
I get this spot cuz I laid the prettiest egg today!
Hey! Let go of my comb!
I'm telling!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gee whiz Brigid, would you shut up! I'm trying to sleep here!
I actually saw my darling, sweet little Lil' Bit grab one of my largest hens (Jezebel) by the comb and body slam her to the floor.
