Cranky little man gets nap time

Our take

Meet our cranky little gremlin, who’s currently navigating the chaotic world of chicken hierarchy after the sudden loss of our top hen. With spring hormones in full swing and stress levels high, he’s not acting out of malice—just pure, feathered frustration! As we scoop him up to calm his aggro moments, he resembles a toddler in need of a nap. And let’s not forget his muddy feet, which have earned him the title of “burdy burritos.

We have had a sudden influx of aggression after the loss of our highest ranking hen to a sudden death. Based on a necropsy it was egg paratinitus(?) so things are stressful in the coop right now. this angry little grimlin isn't being malicious, he's just hormonal because spring, and stressed because the flock hierarchy is changing. So when he gets aggro we scoop. Currently the burdy burritos is simply because his feet are muddy and wet.

But I sware some times it's like he is a toddler, getting cranky so he can come in and nap.

I guess we need to add grey crocs onto the growing list of grey things that make him angry, like the grey food scoop and any picture of himself.
