How did your flock annoy you today?

I swear my chickens. Shirley has a chick feeder in the pen because tiny bantam babies. She keeps kicking dirt all into the feeder so the chicks would have a time trying to find food to eat. She did this at least 3 times today where I had to clean out the feeder. We must not forget the growling and puffing up when I reached in to clean up her mess lol. Periscope and Pewter finally decided to be brave and approach me which was awesome! Until my dog noticed and got jealous I was talking to somebody else and came running because she knows her running scares them. O and we had a mini riot because some of them like to dust bath under the husband's boat in the shade but today he decided to move it to wash it and nobody was happy their spot was tampered with so that was loud. Also I was asked by my neighbor if she could have JJ my young EE cockeral so he will be moving a house down this week.

Aliss managed to escape the run sometime this morning

Came out and there were only 4 inside!

I'm sensing a pattern about posting about Aliss here LOL!

I'm for an all Alias thread!

How do roosters make everything look more fun??

Today I had to separate my
over-zealous cockerels out of the chick pen,(because they were mating with pullets 2-4 weeks younger, and definitely not ready).
So I get them all into the cage and sprinkle some feed on the ground for them.
In 2 minutes, they had at least a dozen pullets trying with their lives to get into the cage!
“Guys! You literally have TWO ENTIRE FEEDERS! Why do you want a one handful??!!!!”
So I sprinkle some feed on the ground for them too…. They don’t even look.
“Great job saying ‘Thanks for being a great owner’, guys.”

If it makes you feel better we have been in the high 90°'s to triple digits here and my flock was hot and such. Today we had a "cold front" and we only hit a high of 75°. My entire flock was miserable and just huddled in clumps for "warmth" or something today. Like shouldn't they be happy it is cooler? Nope not my flock of weirdos.
