lol I can picture it now.The conversation reminded me of a mustang mare I used to have. She was a Super Mom! None of the adult sheep DARED share her feed bucket or risk a stomping but she would let the lambs eat with her.
Our mare was great at pretending she was a harmless pensioner dozing away until the chooks dared roam past her, as she usually parked herself outside their cage doors which they roamed in and out of during the day... Then without looking, using any foot, she'd suddenly plant a hoof onto any unwary chicken. She also used to help herd the poultry and other animals too, if we were rounding them up she'd take and hold a place in the line. While she hated birds in general, she was a fine character, taught many children to ride, used to be a great worker.
