This article is amazing even though I didn’t learn anything because I already knew the information I’d highly recommend it to beginners or people who haven’t had chickens for that long as well as wanting to get them.
It’s so true though with my chickens I have 8 and 2 of them are light Sussex’s as well as sisters. One is bigger with a massive red comb and the other is a little smaller but her comb is tiny in comparison as well as a pale pink. She’s not sick and it’s been like this for a long time. She does however have anxiety and if anyone says that chickens can’t have mental problems like anxiety, depression etc. Well you should come over to my place because she squawks all the time if anyone other than her sister gets close to her. She also flaps her wings like CRAZY! when I free range them. She’s laid about 4-6 eggs in her lifetime and she and her sister were born on the 12/1/19! Also my eldest chicken we got with four other chickens and one was her best friend and sadly all three have passed now. We got three more after two of the others had past and she was still sad because her best friend as well as another one of her friends had died. She eventually made friends with one of the three chickens that we got but sadly she died on the 18/1/20 (R.I.P) because she was egg bound which is also how her best friend died. She was depressed and still looks sad and old most of the time but she still has me and my cuddles. I’m super excited because she’ll be turning 6 on the 27/8 this year! (She was also 1 of 4 of my first ever chickens!
