Ok, it's experiencing repercussions for your actions. But what do chickens have to do with it, and do they do bad things when they come home or do they just roost, i.e. sleep? If chickens get out and go away do they even come home?

There must be some farmers here who understand the assoiciation.

It never occurred to me to question it before.
