You ever get flogged by a chicken? I have! When I was a kid and tried to get the eggs. The hn jumped up grabbed me with her feet and whooped the fool out of me! LOL I got flogged good! I learned to wait till the nest was empty or grab her by the sides, pinning her wings to her body. then set her in the floor and get eggs. I forgave her. She was just doing her job, Protecting her eggs. I have learned alot since then and even more since Ifound BYC!!!!! Love it here!!!!!
God Bless!
