Wonder how many divorces or family brawls were started by chickens?
Mine can get crabby when there's "just one more thing he has to do!" regarding chickens! I try to help him out with the really nasty stuff, like the once-per-year scraping out of the deep bedding. Or make him something egg related that he loves--like egg, cheese and bacon breakfast sandwich
I don't always manage this too well, but I try to remember to thank him for all his help (even if he doesn't remember to thank ME) and give him a big hug and kiss. It's amazing how easily good feelings can be bought sometimes!
