    Polish Rooster Attitude, Is It Normal For The Breed?

    I’ve had the pleasure of owning a good handful of polish roosters throughout my chicken journey and unfortunately i’ve never met one with a good temperament.

    Examples Of Chicken Intelligence

    I have a silkie pullet that has learnt that if she pecks the top of my boot twice, I’ll pick her up and put her in my lap for snuggles. She can be so demanding sometimes, I’ll cuddle her for a few minutes then put her back on the ground, she’ll come back peck the top of my boot for more. She...

    Chick math got me like 🥴 Chicken Drama got me like 🤪

    I have several broody hens and I’ve run out of brooder pens for when the chicks hatch. I also collect roosters for some freaking reason!

    I’m a true crazy chicken lady, I moved a few pet large fowl layers from the pasture pen to a Fort Knox pen (the silkie/ frizzle/ funky crew).
