The times you’ve gotten mad at your chickens....

How many times?

Lots

One time a fox attacked my chickens and I was running around trying to put them away so it didn’t try to come back and get them. (Nobody died that time)

So have you ever yelled or screamed? Threaten to leave them out. I know I have, this is a thread you can share your stories on. Don’t feel embarrassed I’m sure we’ve all been there!
I’ll go first:
One evening I was all dressed up ready to go to a formal event when it hit me my chickens were still out so most were in the coop except for this one little pullet named butterscotch. Now I go to put her in the coop but no she bypasses the entry and does another lap. I start to get a bit angry, I’m in wedges probably not the best things to round chickens up in. Then when butterscotch finally goes in the coop and I go to shut the door, Sky bolts out but I shut the others in. And so it is a repeat of butterscotch. Eventually they both go in. Phew and let me tell you I was screaming at them by the end of that.

I may have threatened to turn a few into chicken nuggets a few times

Don’t worry I’ve threatened to leave them to become fox food. That ofcoarse would never happen, we just get mad and say these things

Mine bolt out the coop when they know I’m coming to put them in there coop for He night. Whenever they see Emily and Evening in the same moment they all race out the coop and make me round them up

One time at about 11 at night, my hen started clucking loudly. So, I ran to the coop and it turns out she just fell off her roost. She was fine. I was a little more relieved than mad though.

Never had that happen, but I have two roosters right. Middle of the night and one starts to crow, then that sets the next one off and our poor neighbors LOL. (Don’t worry we are in a 10 acre block and they don’t mind)

My neighbors would be quite annoyed if that happened!
