<gulp> Do you mean to tell me that out of all of you, this hasn't happened to you at one time or another? Seriously? Forget the margarita - I need a 6 pack of beer and some chislic to shake me out of this stupor - or put me INTO one.
 
Okay, you all think I have issues? Check this out.

I hope my responses weren't too mean.

Well, see, if it was as dark as that, I'd have let the chicken settle down for the night in the cedar tree, gone inside, gotten a jacket, and gone back out in about 15 minutes. I still have fairly good night vision . . . . I have captured many a recalcitrant chicken that thought I had given up the battle by using the darkness to my advantage. There was even a trio of Leghorns that had roosted about 15 feet up in a bay tree - had to get a ladder for them.

Though it's easy to sneak up on a chicken when you're invisible

Yeah, you're right. But at that point it was a little disgusting to be defeated by a teeny little chicken, even if she is dark, and little, and not too sensible, and not normal. We left her out there for awhile and went back out, but there was no way we could get her out of that prickly old cedar tree unless we had chain mail on. (Grrrr! We've been in this house 19 years and I have hated that tree for all 19 of them. Smells like cat pee!) Besides, being unsuccessful is sometimes more fun than being successful. We did check on her to see if she was still way up there about 10 pm. Yep, she was.

That was so funny!

Will my rooster die if he eats socks?

My Pet Chicken sells a rooster collar--They cannot be eaten and do work some to make a rooster less noisy.

Can't make this stuff up, folks! <sigh> I just made my last comment and bowed out. No point getting into a battle of wits with an unarmed opponent.

I'll admit...it's happened to me. More than once. The BR's are the worst about dodging and evading.
