I'd like to hear you funny chicken stories. I'm sure you all had one or two... I'll start with mine.
We took some young chickens into our house as a last resort when we had a predator problem. They soon discovered my bed, with me on it, of course. One day I was lying down with a book and I started getting sleepy. So I yawned, you know, one of those nobody's watching, nearly dislocate your jaw yawns. Closed my mouth and very nearly took my young roo's head off. Silly thing stuck his head into my mouth. I don't know which of us got the biggest fright!
Another incident that still makes me smile happened one morning. We had a good friend, who incidentally now got his own flock, round and I walked to the gate with him as he left. That took us past the chicken run. As we walked past one of my young roosters "crowed". I realised my friend wasn't following me anymore and turned around. He'd stopped in his tracks and was looking at me with this alarmed looked on his face. And asked me "What. The. F***. Was. That?!"
