Yep, the hawks will always go for your best egg layer.

15. Chicken pet sitters can be hard to find. Who wants to come to your home at 5:30am to fill up some feeders, check the automatic waters, open the pop door? Then return about 12 hours later to gather up eggs, do a head count, make sure they all back into the coop and secure the door.

I have a note at the bottom of my instructions. Is simply says: Say a prayer that today is not the day that something happens and they all get killed.

That's pretty much what I think everytime I leave home for work in the morning.

16. Don't forget that chickens can be very cruel to each other and peck one of their flockmates to death without a blink of an eye.

Hi, I'm Cass....I'm new here.

I still not convinced that chickens don't belong in my back yard (3 acres plus 35 acres of "state land" behind it) I beleive it so strongly that I convinced the only neighbor I can see from my house to get chicken too and trade "chicken duty" with me while each family is out of town. After I talked them into hens, I convinced them they needed a rooster to protect their flock, so my Rooster won't be the only one crowing in the morning.

Now the chicken poop on the steps may get to me, but I already own a pressure washer.

Crowing all day? NP, I work all day.

Cackling when they lay an egg? Saves me having to walk down for no results.

I am planning to get 4 hens and a roo...and I am building an 8x8 coop for 5 birds so I am planning for "chicken math".

So what else you got folks?

"Bird-Brain" thinking CAUSED the demise of the Dinosaurs. And the chickens were the descendants of the few that survived.

I have PROOF !

My MAIN Rooster acts like "Tyrannosaurus Rex". (MEAN Bugger !!! )

(and he's STILL "Stupid". He keeps attacking me...although he LOSES EVERY Battle !!! I've knocked him silly three different times. He's about to become "extinct" himself !!!

Who will kill one for you if it needs it?

I almost forgot. They will raise a holy ruckass in the middle of the night. You get your boots on and run out to the coop in your jammys, hoping you aren't going to find a predator getting a midnight snack. You flip on the light and see them all turn around to look at you and not a peep comes out of any of them.
