Weird things only poultry people get.

I have a friend who is an upper class old southern lady sort of person. She visited me and went out to see the chickens. One squatted in front of me and she said- Isn't that sweet, she wants you to pet her. I could not bring myself to tell her what the chicken was actually signaling.
 
Do we eat roosters or just chickens?
We don't eat roosters, only chickens.
Does rooster taste like chicken?
Of course not, they aren't a CHICKEN.
Do the chickens lay eggs even though you don't have a rooster? Do the chickens bump chests because they want to be friends? Answer: NO, they just can't high five.
 
I call my chicks, when talking to them as a group, "cheepers". Once they get older, I call them boys and/or girls. When talking to my ducks, I call them "Quackers" (autocorrect always changes that to quakers, hahaha). All of my chickens and ducks have names so I call them by name when speaking to them individually :)
I call the chicks chicklets, then when they go outside littles, then teens until they lay then just hens. I have been known to have chicklets in the house, littles in the "baby barn", teens in the yard along with the hens.
 
When I went to pick up my order of chicks, I asked the postmaster what was the live mail he dreaded the most - he said bees.
Yeah, I've had bees delivered several times but I pick them up in the morning before they go out.
Except for the time I had a queen delivered and the substitute postman put her and her attendants in the mailbox. They all cooked in there.
 
That helped a bit, but a real life hug is better. I just broke up with my GF of three years a few months ago, so now I have no one except my chickens.
Aw, I'm sorry. I haven't had to go through a breakup yet, as I haven't tried to look for a boyfriend, but it sounds like a very hard thing to deal with.
Have another couple of hugs: :hugs 🤗
Good luck! I hope that you feel better soon.
