three little old ladies sitting on a park bench ....

Sometimes caring for the chickens is a lot like caring for three little old ladies. Little old ladies that all of a sudden decide they are not going to get along. I mean you have to hear them, it is hilarious! I could actually picture Samantha, Lizzie and Maxine sitting on a park bench talking so nicely then all of a sudden one of the ladies says something that upsets another and the squacking begins. It is usually Maxine that decides she is upset with something and lets us all know about it. You can hear her inside with the windows closed. This is about the time that as their caregiver I rush out the door with a snack of some food that is leftover from a meal we just finished, divert the argument and all becomes right again in the coop de chickens. So the answer is food and park benches. Lots of laughing too. Because really who knew chickens could act like three little old ladies sitting on a park bench? :)
