[TheForge] OT: chickens

Yes, long stories.  They are sharing their kill with you because you share your kill with them.  Small minds but they are being kind.

Count your blessings.  I've had cats that would leave half a mouse, or
gopher, or whatever, on the stoop.  While one appreciates the vermin
control, one wishes they'd bury the remains rather than presenting
them as a prize.  Of course, you must praise them for their prowess,
which only makes things worse.

Sometimes she gets anxious to please, so leaves a whole pile of mice (we have a basket of toy mice in the living room).  A mouse-a-cree.  I praise her, put them back in the basket, and next morning we have a replay; or if the mice are obeying her commands, she will only sacrifice one for us.
