Are your chickens smarter than you?

Yeah it's grim. At least the photos are all black and white

It’s awful! So I immediately sent my husband the article lol. I refuse to have that in my head alone. @BlindLemonChicken thanks oh so much for that.

Omg Do Not Google that! I have regrets.

I remember reading an article about it back in 3rd grade. I probably read through it like 20 times. I’m surprised I wasn’t traumatized by a headless chicken choking on its own bile. Or maybe I was. That would explain a lot

Oh see I thought you were going to 4/5 weeks and yours would have good reason to be “slow” And then feel bad because my nutcase is 21 weeks. But turns out we just have some goofy chickens! Help a newbie out, what’s a BOX rooster? I know ee is Easter egger right?

Hahaha sorry! I thought he was common knowledge. Probably one of the main reasons I've never even considered culling with an axe!

Yeah, idk. He was given to us. He is my avatar right now, Rojo el Magnifico. I know he is not purebred bc he has a rose comb, not a big single one.

You thought a headless chicken that lived for years was COMMON knowledge???
Brings up a good question, I don’t/haven’t culled. How does a person do that if not chopping the head off?? I hate this conversation btw but I’m sucked in for some bizarre reason.
