Absolute genius! Pretty much sums up my experience with our chooks.

The only piece of advice you’ve missed is never bend over near your chooks exposing any amount of skin is an irresistible invite

Brilliant. And so true! Especially the pecking. Little bastards.

Ian, extremely funny and truthful. Thank you. Of course, we know all about roosters too, right? https://charlesmandel.substack.com/p/winner-winner-uh-rooster-dinner

Thanks, Ian. When I publish later this week I think I'll cross-post this one on the chickens. It too is rich in insight into the feathered devil birds that have tricked humanity for far too long.

Not just the farm animals, Ian. The domestic pets as well! I may have to write about my ridiculous Border Collie sisters soon.
