Crazy hen has a bright idea

[Chickenaddict]

Just a little over a month ago my little bantam frizzled hen went broody so I bought her 3 feed store standard pullets that were about a week old at that time. SHe raised them for 3 weeks and then went back to laying and being herself again. Well for the past few days I had been noticing this container I keep spare light bulbs in inside the coop dumped over. Friday I go out to the coop and notice that hen is laying on the floor by the bucket of light bulbs. 3 of the 4 light bulbs that were in that bucket were MIA so I lift her up and voila found the missing light bulbs. Here is a few videos of her new addiction.

Oh wow! I'm glad she didn't sit on those bulbs suddenly! Hilarious

Omg so funny. and I think the funniest thing about it is that this is not the first story I've heard about a hen sitting on a light bulb. There's never a dull moment when you have chickens.

, Glad you shared

You reckon she'll hatch flashbulbs? Bless her little heart. She look like a porcupine chicken in the first video.

How cute is that!!! Determined, too... you shall not thwart the lightbulb hatching Momma!

LOL Thanks guys She was very determined to hatch them. However for her safety sake I took the bucket o light bulbs and moved them to where she can't get at them. I was afraid she would break one and still try sitting on it and end up getting cut.

OMG that is THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! soooo funny. i watched it over and over just giggling so hard. She is just so pretty too. That video deserves a prize for greatness. the things our girls will do.

Aww thanks. They can be very creative if the mood strikes them apparently LOL. I think after raising those standard girls she no longer had a taste for hatching bantam eggs so she moved up to something a bit bigger. hahahaha
