Chicken fun?

[alwaystj9]

I never did the mirror thing. I remember my grandmother always had mirrors in her parakeet cages and the birds would "talk" to the mirrors.

Yep…I had mirrors in my parakeet cages to and they would nestle up to it and make cute little love like chirps to it, pecking gently. I’m not sure parakeets are as territorial as chickens. I know that introducing a new hen to a flock has to be done correctly to avoid agression and pecking…sigh. I just want happy, not bored girls (I can’t feee range but they have a 10 x 10 run)

These are great idea. About the mirror…does it make them happy, or mad? Will they see their reflection as a new bird in their space and want to peck it to death or…does it relieve stress and boredo. I don’t have any pecking issues with my 3 lovely girls and don’t want to give them any ideas..so thought I’d check before I put a mirror in there -

The LOVE their mirror... they strut there stuff and walk back and forth and themselves out (a little conceded mine are lol) they only peck at it if they most fast and they think that chicken looking at them moved too fast too lmfao!!
