Wow it sucks when your breakfast tacos fight back so hard. @RUNuts needs to visit to see if I am crazy or not, yes we know he isn't the best judge of character. I can't imagine asking him to vouch for my mental fitness.

FYI they stay down fine but burn like fireX3. This must be diet food because this amount of sweating is P90X level.

So if you have 3 people, 2 of whom are crazy by the standards of the third, who is really crazy? Majority wins, right?

We need a third.

Fair warning, I don't get along with habanero peppers. Mucho caliente.

Look on the bright side you will never have worms.

Oh ok. I'm not sure where they get chicks from.
My Welsummers and Easter Eggers came from Ideal.
This is from when they first started laying:

It doesn't matter which peppers they use as they can cook them down and concentrate the capsasin.

I'm going to share my craziness so that you all can laugh WITH me.
A few weeks ago I had to go out of town for a few days. I told the chicken sitter not to worry about gathering eggs. When I predictably, came home I had a hen sitting on three eggs. I just lifted her up and marked the eggs with an "x" and put eggs, nesting material, and hen in the brooder.
She hatched out one egg last Wednesday. I let her sit on the other two until Sunday. I thought they were probably infertile. I mean Doris is an active rooster, but there are 14 hens and 6 pulleys to love.
When I removed them I listened, then smelled them. No odor. I didn't even try to candal because they were dark. They felt hard though. Weird.
Then I remembered that I had put ceramic eggs in the nests to encourage my pullets to lay! I am so crazy. Poor hen. All that work for one chick.

I've seen where people label the ceramic eggs (not an egg or ceramic) so the egg collectors won't collect the ceramic eggs.

I use golf balls. I know the difference. If you think you feel bad, imagine the poor hen!

Funniest thing, somehow our golfball fake egg is now sitting under one of the cars. The chicken may have kicked it out of the nest but the dogs probably couldn't tell the difference. Kudos to you @RUNuts for being smarter than a dog.

I even have the dogs looking at the fallen lemons and limes hoping for eggs. I assume egg hunting doesn't work with noses and is purely visual for them.

I just hate that my girl couldn't hatch out artificial chicks from my artificial eggs.
I'm Not so sure that I'm smarter than your dogs @AllenK RGV I let my hen sit on them for 3 weeks.
