Smiling at you!! You sound like my husband! But truth be told, it’s probably best that we don’t have them because we’re gone almost all summer. Chickens kinda like to be fed. There’s no one around (that I like or trust) to care for them. Plus there’s a guy not too far that sells eggs. I guess I was just getting nostalgic...I kinda miss all the clucking (sigh).
LOL - I can relate to the clucking... they have personalities and are each different.
We have one rooster that always gets up on a roost in front of the top nests and when you bend down to fill the waterer, he jumps on your back, and as you stand he moves up to your shoulder and stays there the whole time you gather the eggs. Then when you are through, you hold your arm out and he steps over to it and lets you put him back on the roost again. Of course we talk to him and he clucks back in response. My wife sings to them while she feeds and gathers eggs and loves how they respond with a chorus of clucking.
