Chicken Behavior The Ignorant Gal's Guide To Things No Sane Person Would Tell You About Chickens

I'm planning on getting chickens soon and I decided to read this for some tips to keep in the back of my mind. I'll definitely be remembering these tips! And it was written excellently! Gave me quite a few laughs. Wonderful article!

I may have does laughing. It's possible my ghost is leaving this review.
Please write more articles, this was amazing!

Hilarious!

This was hilarious! I had tears in my eyes! I could envision it all in my mind! Loved it!!

This article is hilarious and also very VERY true!

I’m in my 5th year of keeping chickens. Started with 8 hens and now have 18 hens and 1 roo. EVERYTHING in this article is the absolute truth! And there is still so much more to learn every single day. When it comes to chickens anything goes. Expect anything and everything to happen….good and bad….but the joy and laughter of watching their antics it worth every moment.

Good info!! I just got my (little) flock of Bantams about 3 months ago--2 mommas and their 6 hopefully chicks (well 2 are already confirmed Roos!!!)..I would add I had NO IDEA that a rooster would find food for a chicken and give it to her over eating himself! Quite the gentleman!

OMG! THIS IS FUNNY! LOVED IT!

Informative but funny. That's the way to keep someone's attention. Love it.

Oh my!!! I LMAO!!! You definitely have a way with words and chickens. I hope I have as much fun with mine as you do with yours. Can’t wait for my girls to get big enough to go outside.

Love this article!!

I laughed so hard!! Especially since I too, Google alot of these things as a new chicken owner. Lol

This is too funny! You need to start a blog about these girls!

This was awesome. The first experience I had with a ‘hen’ was when my son’s girlfriend gave him a chick around Easter 2013 (Why?!?). I called her Nugget, and ‘she’ became a beautiful rooster. Unfortunately, a neighbor’s dog got him and my son was furious. The dog’s owner was a 95yo man living alone, otherwise it probably would have been more unpleasant.
Now we have 25 acres in the middle of what looks like nowhere, so our friend bought 8 chicks and 2 ducklings in June 2022, after he and my husband built a coop for me a year before. Something picked off 5 of the chicks within 2 months- they free range during the day. I got 6 more chicks in August, lost one and both ducks (male and female) to a hungry pair of dogs dumped in my property.
My husband has decided I get too attached, he is NOT wrong, and we will not be replenishing. Favorite is doing much better, as am I. Still learning, and do not know nearly enough.
And my greyhound was never a racer, or a fetcher, or a hunter, just a lover!

I have read this and then come back to read it again when I needed a little humor... Absolutely love this!

Bat crap crazy...yup, I've seen that type, got one of those myself, she is mostly calm & cool, but when not, look out, she'll dart around crazy, turn on a dime, looking more like a ball in a pinball machine for about 30 seconds, then will mosey along like nothing happened

I love this! Absolutely hilarious

During COVID I learned a few things... (The kinds of things that don't makee look too bright to those who already knew those things) ... And I thought maybe I could spin it into a book. My idea was to interview others who can laugh at themselves and learned a little humility (in a healthy way). I think I'll start by interviewing you.

When we do this, my first question will be:

Tell me why you dubbed your sweet feather baby "bat-crap" crazy... I feel there may be something there to explore

Very helpful 4 the girls

I love this article. It is well-written and very funny for us chicken people.

This is hilarious and also, relatable! What a lovely read
