Appreciation post: The week my chickens declared war on my garden hose
Last Tuesday, I went out to water the vegetable patch and found my favorite yellow hose in about fifteen pieces. My six hens, led by a very proud looking Barred Rock named Bertha, had decided it was a giant earthworm. They pecked every single coupling apart over what I guess was a very exciting morning. The real kicker was finding the spray nozzle hidden under the coop, like some kind of shiny prize. I had to run to the hardware store in town and spend $35 on a new one, which I now keep on a high hook. Has anyone else had their flock fixate on destroying something totally normal in the yard?

Lmao, that's next level chicken logic right there. I bet the texture of the hose just felt too much like a worm to resist. Mine get obsessed with the rubber seals on my car doors, they'll spend hours trying to pry them off.

Sorry @williamh48 but I think the texture thing is overblown, chickens just like wrecking stuff for fun.
