I sent my flock into total spaz out this morning when I tried to murder a pumpkin in their run. First I carried it in (huge thing) and tossed it on the ground, expecting it to split open. It was soft. Nope, it bounced. The whole flock went crazy, beating themselves up on the fencing run, and scurrying for the pop door. So, I thought it needed a harder landing b/c I dropped it in the DL. So, I dropped it on a 2 x 4 that was about 15" high that they use for a roost. Nope it bounced off the 2 x 4 and sent the 2 x 4 into a jiggling fit. More chickens flying. This time, a few bounced off the 6' high welded wire ceiling of that section of the run. Finally, I grabbed a fiberglass post (closest weapon handy) and tried to eviscerate it with that. That wasn't gonna happen. Next weapon was a show shovel. The pumpkin finally complied. All this work, b/c I was too lazy to go grab a spade! Yeah, chickens are chicken.
 
everything I do sends them into a panic.
I raised mine from eggs and they're exactly the same... Shavings on the floor? The floor is now lava. Grated carrot? Omg it's going to kill us. Box of crickets? Completely terrifying. Out of their tiny minds with fear. Until they realise that something is edible, then it's om nom nom tasty... But also still terrifying, in between the rounds of chicken rugby. :confused:
