About this image
So... anybody else ever stumbled onto this farm? :D
I'm not sure if something odd happened, and my game suddenly has enlarged chickens, or if it's mod-related.
Either way, it gave me a good laugh!

The only time I've seen something like this was when I had the mod for CUO Chorrol installed.

By chance are you running formid finder?
So, I could install it if I see more issues like that. I can sort of remember where the farm is too, for that matter.
As far as I know the problem with wrong scaled creatures is a problem which occur if you merge to many creature edits with Wrye Bash in a bashed patch.
The cannibal sheep are definitely not buggy, they are a part of a small hidden quest in Hesu's mod "Shipton".
There are videos about this quest:

If you repeatedly wander around the Gold Coast without ever solving the quest the Radiant-AI-Follow-Package of the sheep with your player character as target remains.
This is not a bug, the engine and the Radiant-IA-System works this way. This happened to me several times with Fallout New Vegas Quest mods too.
I can give you guys which suffer from this problems two advises:
You should not overdo it with complex mods. The engine is simply not made for this, it will always start to malfunction after some play time.
And if you install a Quest mod or a Landscape mod which contains quests, you should execute this quest uninterrupted and without waiting for to long or the AI-Packages of the added NPCs and creatures will become botched.
I haven't merged any creature edits by myself, though. I've just ran the patch with the built-in suggestions.
I'm not really sure how to fix this, to be honest. I've become quite proficient with Wrye Bash in terms of installing/managing mods, and I *thought* I was OK with running a Bash Patch...
Ah well, I will keep an eye on it, see if I encounter any more scale issues.
I suppose I should also investigate those damned sheep as well then...
That sort of reminds me of an issue with Skyrim and the Dawnguard DLC.. there is a certain area you go in, and you need to complete a couple of quests there pretty much once you arrive, otherwise you tend to encounter errors. Given that one of them is a pain-in-the-arse (needle in haystack scenario), I actually use the console to complete it.
But I didn't try all mods yet.
Good luck to find what I personnaly think it's rather a bug.
If I see more huge chickens, I'll assume it's a bug as well.
However... given that there are also "cannibal sheep" in my game (it's a Hesu thing)... at this stage I'm willing to believe anything is possible.
So far I haven't had any floating object issues with Hesu... but of course, with these huge games, it's impossible to really know these things.
I don't use Grass Overhaul, I just have the Arboretum, Verdant Antithesis and Far Cry replacers.. but it *does* look nice from the images I have seen.
As to the chickens.. To be honest, I'm really not all that fussed at the moment. I just thought it was funny to see them on an isolated farm with "Farmer Jonathon" continuing to hoe his garden as if nothing was amiss.
If I start seeing them everywhere, then I'll pursue it, but otherwise.... Andierra will know where to go when she gets really hungry.
Luckily... so far I haven't had the sheep follow me....
ROFL!
