How did your flock annoy you today?

One of my pullets who started laying last week just started screaming like she was about to die so I run to check. She is throwing a tantrum because the hay in the nest box was mostly kicked out so she couldn't "nest" properly. Once I fixed that she was fine.

My chickens have somehow figured out how to pick plums from the tree over their yard. I know that the plums aren't falling by themselves as they're not even ripe yet.

Somehow, they get MORE active the hotter it is. Lazy as teenagers when it's below 75 degrees, but over 90? Screaming, running, fighting over the one-inch strip of sun that made it through the shade cloth. More screaming. It's like clockwork.

Well, it got so hot that I brought them down to their basement apartment (now with 3 bedrooms). Not a peep from them now. Everyone's settled in for a nap/preen/bite to eat. Feel like I'm being played...
