    Neurodivergent chicken keepers

    Honestly chickens are a good hobby even with the expenses, my mom had been recently retired and that pretty much scrambled her. But the chickens actually kept her steady with our first flock. Sometimes just being with the birds is really relaxing! Also welcome :]

    Neurodivergent chicken keepers

    Modifiers work too, and sometimes they help in getting the tools you'd need. This is a very good way of putting it, and I was struggling to find a way to word a response. And then no two autistic people share 100% of the traits, no one is getting put in a definite box. Agreeing they shouldn't be...

    Curious of Young Rooster's Behaviour - Not Aggressive

    Figured why the heck not and throw in pictures of him in April So generally noted, he may still exhibit possible aggressive rooster behaviour but I'm hoping he's going to be OK. What's crazy is that I had a rooster who didn't fit the sterotype of rooster behaviour a few years back and now...

    Curious of Young Rooster's Behaviour - Not Aggressive

    I will definitely note that! I'm used to keeping smaller animals at eye level because I'm nervous of scaring them. I'll be sure to avoid that with him in particular then :] I come see him daily but only occasionally I carry him. Hoping he stays sweet, it has been ages since I've had a sweet...

    Curious of Young Rooster's Behaviour - Not Aggressive

    Nothing urgent! This is more out of a curiosity thing as I looked around a bit but couldn't find anything that satisfied the said curiosity. This is an unnamed 6 month old Old English Game Bantam rooster (Lavender colour). I've read that if a rooster bites or shows aggressive behaviour at 3...

    Neurodivergent chicken keepers

    LOL yeah that's one way to put it. Sorry about the ramble but more explaining on stuff how I see it. Sometimes its more than just a "label" but a way to inform others... Yes I have X thing! There will be difficulties with things due to X. Being deaf and hard of hearing for example, it does...

    Neurodivergent chicken keepers

    Tests are good! Especially retests. Saying as an example that I have been tested for Autism as a kid multiple times, but it kept going negative. Turns out they updated the criteria a year after the last test I had, and I finally got the official diagnosis this year in February. Anyways hello...

    Sexing chicks under 4 weeks old

    Chiming in but yes, it can vary by breed how features may develop. Usually this time around is still a bit early. I've seen larger/redder combs/waddles for males at the age when it does start to show when compared to the females from the same age/hatch group. Not always a surefire way but it...

    Weird Water Drinking Behaviour

    I see! That's interesting, thank you.

    Weird Water Drinking Behaviour

    It would make sense for her to tilt it straight like all chickens but, she tilts her head all the way back that the pipe technically is in the shape of a C, hench her head being upside-down. And it's the same bird. I actually have her marked to keep watch for the behaviour.

    Weird Water Drinking Behaviour

    I will have to get an image later but we have a hen who's, well almost perfectly normal aside of this one weird quirk she does. She does not have wry neck as this isn't something she does all the time, nor does she appear sick in any way. Her breed is a White Delaware. Thing is everytime she...

    New Member Introduction!

    Hello, I go by Roux on socials! I'm from Texas. 1- I started with a small flock in 2017, I remember as a kid I wanted a pet bird for the longest time I could remember and wasn't expecting chickens. And honestly I'm glad to have gotten them! 2- A lot. I'd definitely say over 50. We are a small...
