Psycho Sharon finally apprehended and being held without bail.
Our take
Meet Psycho Sharon, formerly known as Olga, the green olive Egger with a wild spirit and a penchant for dramatic returns! This feathered diva has always been an egg-laying champion, but after embarking on a 13-day adventure to pursue her dreams of motherhood in the woods, she finally flew back home—arriving with all the flair of a Spartan warrior! While the goats were left baffled and the other hens rolled their eyes, I found myself tangled in thorny vines trying to track her down. Now, she’s in solitary confinement, and I’m left pondering a few things: Is three days enough? Will she forget about her secret nest? And can chickens experience "refeeding syndrome"? Any cluck-tastic advice would be appreciated!
In the whimsical world of poultry parenting, few tales capture the essence of our feathered friends quite like the saga of Psycho Sharon, a green olive Egger with a flair for dramatic exits and a penchant for broodiness. Olga, as she was once known, transformed into Psycho Sharon after a daring escape into the wilderness, leaving her human companion in a frenzy of concern and laughter. This delightful narrative not only entertains but also resonates with anyone who has ever tried to wrangle a runaway chicken. As we dive into this clucking good tale, it’s clear that chickens are more than just egg-layers; they’re mischievous little characters with their own personalities. If you’ve ever wondered about the ups and downs of chicken ownership, you might find yourself chuckling along with stories like 4 or 40? and Whoops! At least they won’t complain about not getting enough treats🤣❤️.
The story of Psycho Sharon is a reminder of the natural instincts that drive our chickens. The urge to nest is powerful, and for many hens, it signals a strong desire to fulfill their maternal instincts. However, this enthusiasm can become overwhelming for both the chicken and the caretaker, especially when the hen’s ambitions lead her into the woods in search of imaginary chicks. It’s easy to relate to the author’s plight—who hasn’t felt the temptation to chase after a chicken only to end up entangled in vines or splashed by muddy water? This humorous yet relatable scenario underscores the challenges of chicken ownership, especially during a period of intense broodiness.
The questions posed by the author—whether three days of solitary confinement will be enough to reset Psycho Sharon’s broodiness, and if chickens can experience "refeeding syndrome"—speak to a larger community concern. As chicken keepers, we often navigate uncharted waters when it comes to our pets' health and behaviors. The blend of humor and vulnerability in these inquiries shows that while we may have a wealth of information at our fingertips, we still have our doubts and fears. For instance, if you’re considering your own flock's well-being, it might be helpful to explore the nuances of chicken care, as discussed in the article Sound for chirps! OH MY GOD ITS RAINING FOOD.
Looking ahead, the saga of Psycho Sharon opens the door to broader discussions about chicken behavior and mental health. As the chicken community grows, so does our understanding of how to best care for these quirky critters. Will the strategies employed by the author become a common practice among chicken keepers dealing with similar broodiness? The balance between allowing our chickens to express their natural behaviors and ensuring their safety and health is delicate. The lessons learned from Psycho Sharon's escapades might inspire innovative solutions or even spark new questions within the community. So, the next time you see your feathered friend plotting her next great escape, remember: there’s often more than meets the eye—and a little humor goes a long way in navigating the delightful madness of chicken parenting.

| This "was"Olga before her shift into the personality of Psycho Sharon. She's a 3 yr old green olive Egger that has always been a phenomenal egg layer and I purchased her from TSC at 3 days old. She took off 13 days ago to follow her dreams of being a mother and laying a clutch of make-believe children in the woods somewhere....which I have yet to find. I posted about her return after being gone a week. Whenever she does returns, she reenacts a scene from the movie 300 and I can almost hear her screaming, " THIS IS SPARTA!" The goats tear around like, "WTF IS HAPPENING?!?!", the other girls are like, "bitch why you screaming like that?!?!" She comes back, gorges on food, runs around like a maniac and I feel really sorry for her. Tried following her back to her nest after being gone a week....and that was dumb. I got caught in thorny vines after watching her take off like a stealth bomber and do some crazy maneuvers back and forth across a 6 ft ditch full of water to try and lose me. I finally lost track of her. She came back 2 days later and my husband had the grand idea of trying to walk her on a harness back to her nest. Everyone knows that if you want to fly a kite, the worst place to fly it is in the woods. I finally yelled at him because he was going to kill her and I cut her free.....and wild beast crackhead was gone off into the woods again. The twat came back again today and I locked her in the coop. I've planned on putting her in solitary in the garage for 3 days hoping she will forget about the nest in the woods. My questions are 1- is 3 days enough? 2-is solitary going to work if I cant find the nest and will she remember she has one back there? 3-can chickens experience "refeeding syndrome" like other animals and is is this amount of time warranting vet advice? Any advice would be much appreciated. I love yall so much and you've been so helpful. If yall want to comment funny stuff too, that's perfectly fine because this bitch IS crazy! Never dealt with this severity of broodiness before. [link] [comments] |
