The day I did a cable install inside a chicken coop and nearly got pecked to death

I was running a line out to a customer's new shed in rural Ohio last spring and they insisted the best route went right through their 30-bird chicken coop, and after 20 minutes of dodging beaks and stepping in droppings I realized I should start asking customers about livestock before I even pull up to the property.

Learned that one the hard way with a buddy's beehive setup. Now I ask about dogs, cats, chickens, everything before I even open the van. Saves a lot of running and swearing.

Seems like a lot of fuss over some chickens. A few pecks and some messy boots don't sound that bad compared to other job site hazards I've dealt with. People act like a couple of birds are some major threat when really you just need to watch where you step and move a little faster.
