How did your flock annoy you today?

So Laverne is one of my Bantam White Cochins and is 6 months old. She is now day 3 broody. But she uses the actual nest box and it is outside the coop so I moved her up about a foot to the rabbit cages because I can lock her in at night so we shall see how tonight goes before giving her eggs. Shirley her Partridge sister has been missing for 3 days and the reason I didn't truly think Laverne was broody is because I kept getting a bantam egg. Well today Shirley showed up just as I was going inside to bring my daughter's friend home after a sleepover so when I got back I checked for an egg. No Shirley to be found anywhere but I did get the egg. So I now know the eggs I have been getting for the past few days are from Shirley and Laverne is Broody. Good news the husband doesn't know you can break a broody so I may hopefully have more chicks in a few weeks and not store bought so he can't complain.

What I especially „love“ is when they step into cecal poop and smear you with it, while you are picking them up, even better, when they smear the freshly washed T- shirt you just put on usually this happens when I have an appointment I can’t miss

Absolutely! It's the one time you're like, "Oh, I can just go put the chickens away in my work clothes... it'll be fine..." and then the poop is EVERYWHERE! LOL!
