I fell over laughing at the insanity of your descriptions of chicken behavior! Your hawk chicken is so right on too! I have a new flock of now four month old Easter eggers mixed with Marans… they are hilariously funny when the play/fly all over the yard! I’ve never seen chickens play around like dog or cats before. Then yesterday morning, I hear a new chicken voice sounding an alarm, and I ran outside because I thought someone else’s chicken found my yard! Low & behold, it was my biggest chick making the racket at something trying to come thru the cat door in my gate. So I stood like a proud chicken mama and told Ruth she was a good girl! Now I have three chickens to sound the alarm!

Beautiful well written article! You captured everything I love about backyard chickens. My dad, raised on a farm in Iowa, was delightfully surprised at my hens’ individual personalities. He can’t believe my one hen is 9 years old! Grandma’s chickens would go to the “Campbells soup club” when they reached a certain age.
My chicks have free run of my large “suburban” backyard. I love sitting out on my patio just before dusk with my favorite cocktail just to enjoy my chickens company while they graze grass around my chair. They always beg for their “potato chips” (dried mealworms) morning and at dusk. I love my chickens!!!!
