Scary thing with chickens in their attraction to shiny round things. You know like cherry tomatoes, grapes, and eyeballs!

I had heard the warning many times before but got it in the eye by one of my hens last year. I was in the coop bending down when one of the birds that had been sitting next to me curious about what I was doing decided to see if my eye was as tasty as a grape. Luckily she missed and got my cheek.

We have 3 roos and 17 hens, none are at all aggressive except nesting hens. When they are in the nest box they really want to be left alone.
