Hey fellow chicken enthusiasts! It’s time to ruffle some feathers—in a fun way, of course!

We all love our chickens... but how far do you go for your feathered friends? Do you keep things simple and practical? Or are you the type to hand-feed treats while playing spa music in the coop?

Take this light-hearted quiz to find out if you're a down-to-earth Chicken Keeper, a pampering Chicken Spoiler, or maybe somewhere in between! No judgment here—just a fun way to learn more about your chicken-keeping style. đŸ„šâœš

1. How do you greet your chickens in the morning?


A) With a quick “Good morning,” as I check their feed and water.
B) I sing them a morning song—complete with choreography.
C) Depends on the day—sometimes a wave, sometimes a heartfelt speech.


2. What’s your go-to treat for your flock?


A) Kitchen scraps—nothing goes to waste.
B) Mealworm muffins I made from scratch (with a parsley garnish).
C) A healthy mix of garden veggies and occasional store-bought goodies.


3. What’s your coop cleaning routine like?


A) Weekly sweep with a deep clean once a month.
B) I deep clean, then light sage to ‘cleanse the energy.’
C) Regular tidy-ups, plus a seasonal coop refresh.


4. Have you ever dressed up your chickens?


A) No way. That’s just feathers asking for trouble.
B) Yes—Halloween, birthdays, photo shoots. You name it.
C) Maybe once... okay twice. The photos were adorable!


5. What kind of décor does your coop have?


A) Nesting boxes, roosts, ventilation—and that’s all it needs.
B) Curtains, flower boxes, chicken-safe fairy lights. It’s Pinterest-worthy.
C) A few personal touches like signs and comfy corners.


6. How often do you post about your chickens online?


A) Rarely. I might share a photo if something funny happens.
B) Daily updates, themed photo shoots, and custom hashtags.

B) A full-on chicken ER complete with herbal remedies, heat lamps, and foot soaks.
C) A well-stocked box that grows with experience.


8. Do your chickens have names?


A) Only the ones that stand out. The rest are just “the flock.”
B) Of course, and each has a backstory and voice.
C) Most of them, especially the friendlier ones.


9. How do you handle a sick hen?


A) Quarantine, monitor, and treat based on symptoms.
B) Quarantine, daily spa sessions, and soft music for comfort.
C) Quarantine, care, and a few extra treats to cheer her up.


10. What’s your dream chicken upgrade?


A) A larger run or automatic waterer.
B) A heated coop with Wi-Fi cameras and a velvet roosting perch.

Total:16, so barely an Unbalanced Beaker.

If Q5 (coop decor) had an option D for Nestera owners, it would probably be worth -10 points.

Curtains and flower boxes for a coop that looks a lot like the result of a passionate encounter between an Imperial storm trooper helmet and a dark gray watering can on steroids - not likely! :plbb
