Hi - I've recently become the local Crazy Chicken Lady in my neighborhood.
A neighbor had multiple roosters, and one of them decided over a year ago that he should adopt me. He started out with perching on my front porch glider, then gradually transformed into behaving much like a house cat. I decided after a few months that he should have a friend of his own kind, so now I have the one rooster, one laying hen, three pullets that are four months old, and six chicks/pullets that are two months old. Chicken math is REAL.
A neighbor helped me build an 8X8 run, and we converted my metal shed into a coop.
My rooster is pretty docile and non-aggressive, but he can be pretty bossy at times.
I'm really curious about the psychology of chickens. I wish I could understand what they are telling me when it is perfectly clear they are trying to say something!
