Chickens are often attracted to the colour red. That's why a bird with a bleeding wound should be separated from the others, because they will peck it and make it worse.

Then again, they peck just about anything colourful and shiny....

I'll second that. I also should add that when their Irish is up a rooster may try to fight the spinning knives of a red frail mower as well as attack a red lawn mower. I call that being attracted to the color red. However, I have never seen the same rooster flog a frail mower more than one time. I should also add that the mower was victorious every time.

This attraction to red is also why the little spot on chicken wateriers that the bird must peck to get a drink are all red, just thought you would want to know.

Try this little experiment. Paint one fingernail red and the other 4 (?) blue. Then see which finger nail your chicks peck or display interest in.

I had to ask how many fingers you had because you see I have six.

I have a harder time than O. J. Simpson finding a pair of gloves that'll fit!!
