My chicken set up is like a factory.....it is geared to keep a large amount of birds in the best physical condition they can be. Not all of my birds are on free range because I show some of them and they are white. White chickens don't stay white during the rain here. No curtains, murals or decorator artifacts. The pens are all painted a grape/wine color though cuz I wanted to get in touch with my feminine side like Al does. My wife gives me a hard time about the color, but it makes me feel pretty. I keep a small piano out with the birds so that they can expand their artistic abilities that will hopefully help in the show hall. Any chicken worth it's salt should be able to play a piano.
Re...why cull chickens have special talents. They have special talents so that they can survive. chickens with crossed bills will jump into your feed bucket so that they can get a good shot at some food as an example. It is too hard to pick it up from a feeder with a crossed beak. Hunger will make chickens do many thhngs they normally would not try to do.
