  Hey. Everybody, welcome to the Good
• 0:03
  Morning from the Chicken Coop podcast.
• 0:05
  My name is Kim Johnson and I am a mastermindset, coach, creative
• 0:08
  strategist, and also happened to be a farmer.
• 0:11
  This is my Chicken coop and I come out here every day.
• 0:14
  To record a podcast to. Teach distinctions,
• 0:17
  possibilities, new ways of thinking, and just bring some
• 0:20
  joy. Into the.
• 0:21
  World. So welcome to the coop and let's
• 0:23
  start your day off in a fantastic way.
• 0:27
  Hey everybody, good evening from the chicken coop.
• 0:30
  I'm out here and I'm locking the girls up and I decided to shoot
• 0:34
  this because I think this is very funny and I want to share
• 0:37
  it with all of you. But whenever the girls go to bed
• 0:39
  at night, they have very typically they have very
• 0:42
  specific seats where they sit. Like I can always tell you that
• 0:45
  when I come in here at night on the left hand side in the row
• 0:49
  that's in the back, Amelia is there far.
• 0:52
  She's there and no one sits next to her.
• 0:54
  She's like got her own space and she takes it up and nobody goes
• 0:57
  near her. It's like she owns that space.
• 0:59
  And all the chickens tend to have the same areas until they
• 1:05
  don't. And they will stay in the same
• 1:07
  seat until all of a sudden one person or one, I call them a
• 1:11
  person. Isn't that funny?
• 1:12
  One chicken comes in and disrupts the whole thing.
• 1:16
  So often it's one of the original girls and someone
• 1:20
  starts the whole process off and it just seems to be that
• 1:24
  everyone takes up a different residence and they start moving
• 1:27
  around. And it's interesting because
• 1:29
  they can come in and they can go left or they can go right.
• 1:32
  And historically, even tonight, more of them are on the right
• 1:36
  than on the left. And it's even crazier when all
• 1:40
  of a sudden they decide to switch sides because it disrupts
• 1:43
  everything and everybody is arguing.
• 1:46
  So just before I started this, I was watching the mall trying to
• 1:50
  figure out their seats and where they want to go and where
• 1:52
  someone wants to be and who will sit next to who and who likes
• 1:55
  who. And this really is a thing among
• 1:57
  chickens. Some of them do not like each
• 1:59
  other. And if you get next to somebody,
• 2:02
  IE Marilyn Monroe does not like everybody in here and she will
• 2:06
  Peck at you. And believe it or not, Celine,
• 2:09
  who's my French crevocore, one of my OG girls, she is really
• 2:15
  picky and she does not like everybody and she will
• 2:18
  definitely go at them. Well, Miss Celine decided to
• 2:21
  change sides and she went from the left, which she is typically
• 2:25
  always on the left. Like I never really see her on
• 2:28
  the right. And tonight she is on the right
• 2:30
  and she is sitting next to Samantha.
• 2:32
  And her and Samantha have been hanging out a lot and I think
• 2:34
  they have become friends. And all of a sudden now nobody,
• 2:39
  it's like it's disrupted the whole entire thing.
• 2:41
  And everybody's been arguing and people, you know, they've been
• 2:44
  like birds have been flying left and right.
• 2:47
  There's all this personality happening in here and it just
• 2:50
  makes me think about how we are in our human self where we do
• 2:54
  the same thing when all of a sudden we disrupt things.
• 2:58
  And think about how when you were growing up, if you changed
• 3:01
  your friend group and all of a sudden somebody's upset with you
• 3:04
  and you're sitting with this person at the lunch table.
• 3:06
  And how we are just not as different as we think we are
• 3:11
  from the creatures that live around us and what that
• 3:14
  disruption does. Now, what's going to be
• 3:15
  interesting is to watch how this takes place moving forward.
• 3:19
  So tomorrow morning when they all come out, will they be
• 3:23
  hanging out together? Will they be doing this tomorrow
• 3:25
  night? Will they be deciding that this
• 3:27
  is what's going to happen? And interestingly enough, when
• 3:30
  we lost Rufus and the other rooster, when Hulk is now, you
• 3:34
  know, taken over and doing a decent job, we've only lost one
• 3:38
  since he took over. And he seems to be doing a good
• 3:41
  job, but different girls are hanging out with him now, and
• 3:45
  they've maybe decided that he's more appealing and he's braver
• 3:49
  than they thought. I don't know.
• 3:51
  It's all very fascinating to me. And it just reminds me of how we
• 3:55
  are as humans and how little things really, really dig at us
• 3:59
  as human beings too, and how we get jealous and how we don't
• 4:02
  want to sit next to somebody. And it's like, oh, I get stuck
• 4:05
  sitting next to her or I get stuck being near him.
• 4:08
  And I can think back 100 times in my life where that happened
• 4:12
  to me or Oh my gosh, I got put in a group with this person or
• 4:15
  that person when I was in school.
• 4:16
  And I didn't want to be in a group with with that person.
• 4:19
  It's endless the number of times this comes up.
• 4:22
  And it's no different in this world.
• 4:23
  I know my neighbors have horses and I've heard, you know, my
• 4:27
  neighbor say to me multiple times, well, those two can't be
• 4:30
  in the same corral. Same thing with the goats, can't
• 4:33
  put them near each other. They don't like each other.
• 4:35
  Same thing in the lizard Kingdom.
• 4:37
  We've got lizards and those two can't be in the same cage
• 4:40
  because they'll kill each other. And it's just fascinating to me
• 4:44
  how that works. Even in the vegetable world, you
• 4:47
  can't plant certain things next to each other because they can
• 4:50
  cause problems. They attract bugs that will eat
• 4:53
  the other ones, or they affect the flavor of things.
• 4:56
  It's all fascinating. So it's not your imagination if
• 4:59
  you don't want to be with somebody or sit near somebody.
• 5:01
  It's a real thing. It's kind of part of the animal
• 5:03
  Kingdom. And like, we like to think we're
• 5:05
  superior, but we're not as superior as we think we are.
• 5:09
  So take that to you into your day and think about it because
• 5:14
  it humbles you when you really realize that we're not that
• 5:17
  different than the chickens. All right, my friends, I hope
• 5:19
  you have a blessed day and I hope you get to sit next to the
• 5:22
  person you want and I will see you tomorrow.
• 5:24
  Bye.
