Anyone an expert?
Now that my little flock is coming together and used to their surroundings I am noticing more and more. Of course, I want to know what it all means
The head bobbing. What's that about anyhow?
Also, when they lower their heads and scrunch up their necks and run about. I have seen them do that to each as well as at the cat.
Do they have a pecking order like chickens? (If so, looks like poor Chrissy is at the bottom.)
Do they tend to squat more when it gets close to laying time? (Saw Lana kind of flatten herself out in front of Jack today)
How territorial do they get? So far I have seen them chase starlings out of THEIR yard and they trapped the cat under the wheel borrow this morning
So experts...fill in this newbie with your duckie wisdom
