    Shadrach's Ex Battery and Rescued chickens thread.

    I'm a relative newcomer, but I've made no secret of how much this thread and the people in it mean to me. I'm one of those who's been left "homeless" since this thread has been locked; it's the first I check and where I have almost all of my meaningful discussions. I'm glad to be back. To Shad...

    That's good to hear. I hope things go well for you and your family in the meantime.

    Hi, Shad I'm thankful for the knowledge and experience you've shared, and for the bountiful information contributed to the exbatt thread over 4+ years. You've had a major impact on how many people -- myself included -- view and keep chickens. As sad as I am to see that thread go, I admire and...

    I'm only a couple pages in, but it appears to be a great trove of information, thank you!

    I've read that study several times and feel that, while very useful, it sadly lacks a lot of context that would help us make more informed deductions. How many of those flocks were actually several tribes that were together incidentally due to resource availability? The flock of 20 was observed...

    I've also recently been wondering where chick sparring ends and young adult "aggression" begins, and whether a lot of people's experience with human aggression has something to do with this. I've noticed some contrast with how different people handle aggressive roosters. Some people are afraid...

    Shadrach's Ex Battery and Rescued chickens thread.

    Saw yet another post on Reddit where someone was having the "I really like this rooster but he's started showing aggression" problem. Comments were predictable, all either "kill him" or "put him in his place." At least a few pointed out that one shouldn't judge a rooster when he's that young...

    I hadn't really considered that facet of it, I kind of just thought that she was happy to have a rooster again and a little less mature about it because a hen has needs. :rolleyes: In addition to the new personality and culture that Glais is introducing into the group, he's also an entirely...

    :yesss:That really is a sudden change from the last few months. It's interesting that they seemingly both flipped the switch at once. They must've had a secret meeting to coordinate this (I can't believe they didn't invite you). Hopefully this becomes the norm again so you're not making such a...

    Time For Gregg Since I last saw him he's finished his moult, started growing his spurs, and he's gotten bigger; approaching Australorp sizes. Still a sweetheart though :love It's hard to get candid/non front-facing shots of him since he's always on the hunt for treats, but I snagged a couple...
