Farm life can teach you a lot about people...
Regarding chickens, in particular hens:
"It is a natural part of poultry behavior for hens to establish a social hierarchy by pecking each other. All the other birds may sometimes excessively attack an injured or weak bird and a bird exhibiting a bleeding area is particularly likely to attract attack. It may be pecked to death if not rescued."
Just a thought.
Beyond that, thank you everyone who said such kind things to me. It is helpful to be able to look at that right now. Even if I think a lot of you hold too high an opinion of me, it makes me smile.
I'm reminded that one good thing I can say about myself is that I have wonderful taste in friends.
*smooches*
