F.F.L Bird 'Interviews'

This is hilarious!

For the whole flock:
How do you feel about cats?
How do you feel about ducks?
How do you feel about mice?

"One ate my hen. Not a fan."

"They're boring. But they have good food."

20200522_145649.jpg

"They're wet and noisy and messy."

"Fun to chase and fling."
 
For the hens:

I understand why you would announce your own eggs, creating an egg is a really cool thing, after all, but why do you announce each others' eggs too?
For the hens:
How do you make double yolkers? Does the rooster have to mount you double the times?

Estrella has the floor for this question.

"Because some of us lay the best eggs around! So much so that our owner hollows them out to save! Just look at two of mine compared to my half sister's!

"As for double yokers, maybe! I don't make any, but Ambrose can't reach me either with those stumpy legs he's got."
 
Funny thread!

For the egg eaters:
Do you feel any guilt? Do you ever eat your own eggs?

For the broodies:
Why do you sit in a nest with no eggs?

General flock:
Are you purposely punishing the humans by roosting on the waterer?
20201207_182316.jpg

"Nope. They taste good. Even better if they're from a broody hen. Yep, been there, done that. Talk about horrifying the owner in the morning."

20200805_211747.jpg

"Ha, ain't no body got time for that. If there's no eggs, we don't sit. Even if we all fit."
20210508_163701.jpg

"No, we just need more roosts!"
 
Lol, mine don't for the most part either, at least not for the night. They have tried standing on it though. I've suspected that some might, but I think most of the yuck comes from them scratching poop into it. So to update the question:

Do you purposely dirty your water?

Also, what do you think of those new nipple waterers?
20210622_100016.jpg

"Yes."
20210508_163703.jpg

"Of course not. But if I poops, I poops."

20210626_203630.jpg

"Haha, you said nipple."
20210516_095641.jpg

"Ignore the young ones, they're idiots. We haven't tried them since our owner wouldn't know how to even get them out of the box, let alone set up and not leaking or stuck."

(^Guilty, pheonix dude's right)
 
For the hens:
What makes one nest box better than the other, so much so that you all have to use it at once?

For the roosters:
What are you trying to accomplish when you call the hens but have no food?
Do you really think the hens need to be shown where to lay AGAIN?
Egg Layers:
Is it comfortable to stack multiple birds on one another when you lay eggs? Do you like it?

"It's the only box we've got! Plus it freaks Dwight out so he leaves us alone!"
20210217_183257.jpg

"The hens that sleep together, lay together!"

20210713_181157.jpg

"Some star wars dude said it perfectly when he claimed 'It's a trap!'"
20190804_185724.jpg

"Yes, because otherwise they lay in the feed bags and horse pens. I'm the only thing keeping them all together!"
 
Bantam roosters: do you prefer the big girls?

I love your Cornish hens.
To all the chickens: when you’re fighting, what are you typically fighting about?
20200911_164410.jpg

"Do I count? I'm half bantam, and no, I don't. My legs are too short to mount the larger girls. The spitzhaubens are the biggest ones I can get to.
20201121_175050.jpg

"Thank you! We really are something, aren't we? Two of us and our Dwight got grand champion trio at the Montana Fair last year! Out of almost a dozen trios under a year and over a year and the judges picked us! We used to have some Blue laced red sisters too but our owner sold then and hadn't been able to get them since, ha!"
20210624_120950.jpg

"I don't see much fighting apart from when the guys get too excited or possessive."
 
To the rooster who is the lowest on the pecking order:

How does it feel getting bullied all the time when you're just trying to do your job?
20210715_142758.jpg

"You fall in a window well for /one/ night and suddenly even the sebright is better than you! I don't even know what my job is, I just wanna eat and drink and stay in the shade!"
