We have chickens, and I have a video from last year where my wife and I are standing in the backyard, on a June afternoon, taking dumb pictures, and a deer walked in between us (we were standing 5 feet apart) to come sniff a chicken that was near our feet, and it tripped over another hen it didn't notice.

My wife had to literally shove the deer with two hands to get it away from the chickens, who wanted nothing to do with it.

Everyone around us has motion security lights, and they'll bed down on my back patio, right up against the house, because they don't trip the lights on. All of our adjoining backyards are connected, and if you go out at dusk you can see them all gathering underneath trees, waiting for it to get dark.
