Crowing
That's hilarious. Also the first time I've heard plank used as an insult. Excellent.I not only heard but saw her fart (whole body rose like those planks who do it deliberately in public )
When I first started keeping chickens and was trying to learn all I could to keep them well, I remember several online sources that said unusual breathing sounds basically mean certain death from respiratory stuffThey snore as well
Then I started spending >1,100 hours annually with robustly healthy chickens as they ate, slept, dustbathed, etc. and heard all kinds of breathing noises. From the egg-laying wheeze, to the occasional nose whistle, to a sneeze Lorraine does when she's annoyed.
And it dawned that the kind of people who post/repost dubious facts online usually aren't the same people who spend hours sitting quietly near chickens.
Stilton's coop is big enough for a human to stretch out in, so that group is used to me sitting with them long after they roost. It's a good spot to think, plus easy to sneak in quick health checks after dark. Once in a blue moon, a chicken falls asleep so hard they snore. It's charming.
Tax: Break out the smelling salts for when you swoon for Mr. March & Mr. November, who respectively celebrate their 3rd and 4th bdays this month.
