thats it. i woke up in an anxiety sweat cause the first thing i heard this a/m/ was the cuckaricoooooo of my red hen (yes, she is a hen, lays eggs, and can even be broody, but she is a few years old, her brown eggs are fairly pale, and now she is crowing).then the horrible screeching for two...

ive noticed that in many threads people misinterpret their animals' actions as 'being friendly' or 'sweet', by coming over when i am feeding and eating out of my hand, or pecking at the feed scoop, or dancing around me (roos), or butting against me, .. all very cute when t he animal is five...

our first chick, number 1, is huge, he /she has back feathers, wing feathers, manages to fly (that should answer the question someone asked on a thread about height -- number one flys inside its room, climbs on the gallery ladder rung but doesnt venture over the the small wooden 'fence' that it...
