I decided to do an outdoor project this morning that will involve power tools. Deliberately set up in an area where the chickens weren't and here they come!

That'll teach you to try getting away from them. After all, they must supervise, and inspect everything you do.

For some reason they're not afraid of the drill, or the truck, or the lawnmower. But drag out that saw, hooo-boy!

I'd hate to have to use an outhouse the way my chickens follow me around. I'd have to keep the outhouse TP in a safe to keep them from using it for a toy.

Lauren, put a new roost in, and they're terrified for a week. Power tools, tractors, etc., don't phase them one bit.

On Nov. 20, I contacted Denon about our receiver. I FINALLY got the authorization email, including the attachment with the FedEx label to send it to be repaired. The first tech support person walked me though all the "tests" to ensure it was the port that was blown out. Since then, their tech support has asked a multitude of questions, and walking me through the exact same "tests" that were already done.

It's a KNOWN problem. I guess my answers finally satisfied them.

Chickens are very curious creatures!

Yes! One time I decided to treat them to some wood shavings in the coop to smell nice and dress up the straw a little. They were horrified!

Even though raised on pine shavings in the brooder they are terrified when they start pouring out of the bag now. You never know what they will squawk at the first time the see it.

I hate that kind of tech support! Luckily we are on a different tier at the University with Dell And Apple so support goes much getter here.

I hate tech support that can't speak my southern dialect of English.
