Healthy soil and sustainable growing

Hi All,

I'm working on the chapter in my book I call "Your Basic Bird," which 
will include a section on chicken behaviors, which will be garnished 
with a few examples just for fun of more whimsical chicken behaviors.

It may have been on this list (??), a *long* time ago, that a member 
posted the story of leaving the coop door shut as night came on. The 
family was watching television when suddenly there came the persistent 
sound of pecking on the back door: The flock had sent one hen as an 
emissary to advise the humans of the problem.

The person who posted ended the story by listing all the behaviors 
exhibited: taking initiative to deal with a crisis, creating a committee 
to formulate a plan, and communicating needs to others--that kind of thing.

If the person who posted that story is on the list, would you please 
email me privately with a copy. I thought at the time I had saved it to 
file, but can't find it anywhere.

Thanks if you can help out.
