The scene shop was across the fields from the agricultural college. One morning, with the loading dock door open to a glorious summer day, we realised that we were no longer alone in the shop. With a freshly base coated 20'X 40' drop laid out on the deck, a small flock of chickens came strutting in the open door and began to investigate. I can only conclude from our experience that chickens are attracted by fresh paint. Also, once they have an object in mind, it's next to impossible to shoo them away from it. Finally, we sacrificed most of our lunches in order to lure them out of the shop, away from the obviously intriguing wet drop and buckets of paint. I recommend that you keep at least some peanut butter crackers on hand, just in case.
