OK, now I know it's true...they ARE smart!!!! They can even talk! Was using my laptop in the breezeway today and had to leave quickly as I heard the chickens in the barn making an incredible racket and I thought something was after them. Ginger hen had been sitting under my chair and when I came back she was STANDING on my computer keyboard! Well, I lifted her down, and then read the following typed message: "AAAAAAAAAAA G.Dee". Wow! She even has a last name!
