yes JR, thats a good post... today I worked with my stonewall for a long time and he was relaxed and loving and happy. I went inside and had some chicks hatching in my incubator and got blood on my shirt and hands, then an egg that didnt hatch exploded and I got rotten egg on me and I was going to throw it in the laundry and saw stonewall outside licking some dirty sandy celery i had thrown out for the chickens. When I went out he leaned and sniffed my shirt and when he did he jumped away, eyes wild. He obviously smelled blood and death and it scared him. maybe he was wondering where I went. Maybe he thought it was like invasion of the body snatchers haha. One time a hunter came out of the woods in camo gear and stonewall freaked but when the man called out and stonewall realized he was a man, he relaxed... lord only knows what they see or hear... janice-- yipie tie yie yo
