she runs the whole show" - man that reminds me of my old cat Patches. She'd literally steal the dog's bed right out from under him and he'd just sit there looking confused. Animals are weird like that. Sounds like Betty just has a big personality and your roo knows better than to argue with her.

Had a buddy with a $500 Audi that only ran if you held the battery cables together.

My buddy @foster.wade is spot on about the multimeter thing. I see this same issue everywhere now not just in fridges but in cars too. People buy a code reader or a thermal cam and then stop thinking for themselves. It's like everyone wants a shortcut but forgets that a tool is only as good as the person using it. Last week I watched a kid chase a phantom evap fan fault for two hours because he trusted his camera over his own ears. The fan was running fine, the camera just showed a warm motor which is totally normal. We're losing the basic skills like listening and feeling for stuff because everyone wants to stare at a screen.

@lewis.diana Only if you're using it to dry out components or reflow solder. Otherwise it's just a (very expensive) lunch warmer taking up bench space. I've seen people do sketchy stuff with microwaves and electronics, mostly involving copper wire and sparks. Keep that thing for Hot Pockets.

I used to think "red-beaked in the act" was just a joke, but same thing happened here. I blamed a snake or raccoon for two weeks before I spotted my favorite hen pecking her own eggs like it was nothing. That'll change how you look at your whole flock real quick.
