How did your flock annoy you today?

My silkie flew into my hands right after stepping into poop and smeared it all over my hand.

I’ve been thinking about writing a book about my flock. It will be called Cecal Poops and the Chickens who love to Step in them.

My smallest chicken thinks she is the biggest chicken, and she loves to terrorize her flock mates, she also loves to go broody so, I put her into a seperate run, today, another hen goes broody, so I try to put her into the same pen as my smallest chicken, she attacked my the poor broody so viciously, the other hen flew into my head and neck in panic, I now have scratches on neck and head from the hen

I hope you’re not hurt badly, but I had to laugh because I can picture it happening (a little Deja vu like). I tell people I lost a fight with Wolverine when I get scratched up by crazy chicken happenings.

Well I forgot to put the shavings bag up yesterday and Face has been sitting there all day except for when she gets water and once when Sprinkles laid an egg in there. One of my quail jumped out when the cage was opened to refill their water. So chasing that was fun in triple digit heat.

Oh.....you asked, you just have to ask don't you

I have a tiny Pekin bantam rooster in my kitchen that crow his tiny mighty crow...and he crows away his life it seems. He has respiratory illness, but crow he insisted.

Rooster crowing is music to my ears, but it is noise pollution when it is going on and on without end so it seems at the moment.

It is not his fault as he hears the hens are screaming before and after egg laying. So it is annoying in all direction.

Usually they are not this noisy, it is just spring is approaching and they all returning to lay eggs after many months off, so I imagine they all feel uncomfortable.

I have a rooster who wants to show me where I should lay my egg every time when I clean out his coop (it's not in the nest box, BTW, just a random corner of the coop). But he goes in and digs out a little pit and cooes real sweet the entire time.

When I'm done cleaning, he goes out the pop door and screams an egg song like he's trying to convince everyone that I did in fact lay an egg in there, lol.

Your rooster is such a darling, please give him a big mighty hug for me. Sweet rooster... He lies to the flock for you...
