Things you never said until you had chickens.......

"You are supposed to keep the straw in the nesting boxes! You already have plenty of straw on the floor."

That's happened to me countless times.

Doctor: How did you hurt your shoulder?
Me: Running from a rooster.

Which by the way was the strangest most embarrassing trip to the ER I mean even the nurses laughed. Me sitting there in agony and everyone is giggling I should've just gotten spurred.
Last year had a rooster body slam my hand and a beak or toe (something sharp) jabbed my wrist and cut a vein. I doctored myself up because I didn't want to go to ER. I was doing cub scout camp that week. I had to ask the duty nurse about my hand because it was swelling up through out the day. She thought it was just because of the impact and not because infection was setting in (I was more afraid of having to get a shot (not because of the shot itself but because of the $$$ - even with insurance) than having to admit what happened.)

"You are supposed to keep the straw in the nesting boxes! You already have plenty of straw on the floor."
I have a hen or pullet that has to kick up a lot of straw or shavings (trying something different in a different box but she still kicks a lot out) and it doesn't matter if there's any eggs in it or not. Sometimes she's burried the egg completely.
