Issues

NIGEL:
Okay, I've been away in CO for 10-12 days. Prior to leaving, Susan has really enjoyed letting the chooks out in the morning. Blackbeard has become the cockerel at the top of the "pecking" order, even though he isn't the largest cockerel! So he leads the gang out into each new day.

Well one of the Australorps (black) pullets (teenage hen) started being quite curious & would always check me or whomever out... & became know as Curious (yes we are extremely creative with names!!!). Anyway, while I have been away Susan & Curious have built up a relationship... where she will greet Susan in the morning, eat out of her hand & let her pat her!!?!?!?

Yep..... issues are arising! I explained to Susan that, although Curious is a healthy pullet... when she becomes unproductive... she will become a broiler.... mmmmm! Susan doesn't want to know about this. If she keeps naming the flock, we wont have any to eat!!!!

Suggestions?
