My sweet ISA brown chicken, Crazy Eye, wanted to have chicks…
…For all of three minutes.
I had just stuffed my rollout nest boxes with straw because they weren’t laying in them. I also put a clean fake ceramic egg in a few of them. Crazy Eye started acting odd when she stretched her neck as far as it would go and inspected the nest boxes with her good eye. She then jumped in and sat on the faux egg, but she was all shifty and puffy and started crooning softly. I was like: what’s up? You’re kinda being weird, but I brushed it off. She started picking up straw from the next boxes next to her and putting it in her box. I started to suspect at this point, but I withheld judgment until she noticed the egg wasn’t underneath her and she pushed it under her. At this point I knew, so I approached her to see if she would peck at me, and she came to her senses, hopped out and ran off.
Silly chicken
