From Five Games to a Flock: How I Accidentally Became a Chicken Person
There's a fine line between "I'll just look at the feed store" and "I now own a rooster named after a dark omen." Our friend over on Reddit crossed it, and honestly? We respect the chaos. It started innocently enough: a few Brahmas at Tractor Supply while unsupervised. Then the wife brought home five Orpingtons and a goose, because why not? And then came the Ayam Cemani rooster, which is basically the goth celebrity of the poultry world. Suddenly, they're a chicken person. We've seen this kind of fowl play before, and it never gets old. If you're feeling brave, check out our story on another backyard adventure, "Chickens Got Her Good!". Just remember: no one is immune.
That egg's not playing hide-and-seek: it's just showing off.
Well, color me cluck-flummoxed. When we say we've seen some fowl play around here, we usually mean a sneaky rooster, but this takes the cake. A goose in the coop, and she's laid an egg that makes our usual large ones look like pathetic little pebbles. I genuinely hope she's okay, because what in the world? That thing wouldn't fit in a jumbo container, let alone the extra-large we keep on hand. I'm all for a little egg-citement in the morning, but this is just showing off. It's a feathery mystery that has us scratching our heads. If you need us, we'll be over here measuring the doorway to see if we need to reinforce the nesting box.
