Do chickens like the lazer pointer

[Bryce Thomas]

I have the classic red cat lazer pointer. One of my hens like it but my other 2 are scared of it. Is it normal for chickens to fear lazer pointers? Should I buy a diferent color lazer pointer? Im thinking green will get a better response since they forage in grass

Are you trying to torture your birds on purpose or what?

maybe a darker color that reminds them of bugs? it isn’t “torture” and if one of them likes it then it will be a great toy for her

NO NO NO!!

you will cause OCD in your birds because they will NEVER be able to catch it. Trust me when I say your bird will loose its marbles. I think its abusive to use it on any animal. It results in extreme nuerotic behaviors.
