Chicken Myths/Rumors: True or False, Please Share!

[Dreamzchaser]

I believe there is some disagreement about how intelligent/smart chickens actually are. Or at least I think that’s what’s bothering them.

Yes, that is exactly what it has been. No biggie. It is that some people do not accept animals for what they are. They will get it right one day. Have a wonderful evening and keep laughing!!!

Chickens bite

Myth. My little cousin got poked by one of the chickens and yelled, “hey! She bit me!” I had to tell him, she can’t bite, she doesn’t have teeth. And I explained when you step on a chicken accidentally they get mad and peck you with their beak. Lol

Myth: Ayam Cemanis lay black eggs
True/False: False
Origin: Saw this online somewhere. I think people assume they lay black eggs because they are an "all-black" chicken.

Sometimes you can learn from other people if you honestly listen to them, ask questions, and don't automatically rule out what they are saying. Now my avatar is not playing beethoven, but when miss Bea played twinkle twinkle little star on that piano no one had a doubt that she was smart.(ok, it was only 6 or 7 notes of the song, but stiil... I couldn't teach my kids that much. They just didn't want to do it) When I watch chickens undoing latches to get into boxes, I don't have a doubt they're smart also. Maybe your chickens have just been conditioned to not show you how smart that are. Lol, not wanting you to make a fortune off them I'm sure.

I do not sell chickens nor eggs nor anything. They are mine and mine along for my enjoyment and to care for them. Hope to see your name in a huge billboard across USA or KY when I go down to Florida!
The only thing is that chickens are chickens and the are wired to be chickens. They can solve problems they encounter but does not mean that they are smart. Wrong word Americans are so addapted to use. So addapted that they put signs in their cars to be-little and boast about themselves and their children. Complete discrimation. That is what everything in this world is! Pure Discrimination and absolute supremacy towards others, yet including any race, color and gender. Self selfishness.

Go ahead and say things and only to me and not to others. I was comdemned but the one that instigating, does not. Seems like I am living in the south in the 1800

Myth: Ducks need a pond or swimming pool
False, what they actually need is a deep enough bowl to fully dip their bills in so theu can clean their nares. But they do not literally need a pool or pond to survive
Evidence: I had ducks for a couple years, and we never had a pond or pool deep enough for them to actually swim in. They did just fine, though i will admit that yes, they probably would have been 100x happier if they did. But they bred and lived and reproduced surprisingly well actually

Did you just turn chickens playing the piano into a discussion about discrimination?
Not sure how you came to that conclusion…
