Probably not surprising to many observant chicken owners, but a recent study in France has found that hens blush and fluff their head feathers when excited or scared. This article describes the study and mentions that the findings could be used to improve animal welfare.
Hi all! I'm new. I have 8 hens. I'm looking for a local source of hay for my girls this winter to kick around in, but I don't know where to get it. Where do you get hay and other local products or used items? I don't have Facebook anymore, so I can't use Marketplace.
