How many hours spent with your chickens?

[Lemon-Drop]

I have been dreaming about chickens off and on all month! Several times it's been me explaining genetics to someone else and I know next to nothing about chicken genetics outside of how to make a splash bird

Yes! I know zero about genetics though.

Last night I dreamed about whether or not to add another nesting box (15 hens, 3 boxes right now...)

I'd say your intuition is spot on

how many hours does everyone spend with their chickens each day? I’m out once im done with homework and spend at least a good 3 hrs outside every day even if it’s for some fresh air.

5 to 6... Sometimes more if I have a lot to do outside.

I have pet chickens who live indoor with me so I spent my 24x7 they love me climb on my lap sleep and cuddle ..I do work in
my schedule but since it's lockdown we all are free lol

Many many hours a day. The perks of working from home (way before covid mania) every hour or so I go out and talk with them and visit, maybe get treats ripped out of my hand or screeched at BECAUSE I have no said treats with me. At only 9 weeks they sure are friendly and docile the Barnies are a little sketchy, but so young most of them let me scoop them up from under their bellies. ESPECIALLY the two Speckled sussex. Uhg chickens are friggin awesome

I spend about an hour a day in my girl only coop and barely any time in the boys and girls coops cause of my roosters and cocks, they are devils!

About an 1hr or 2 per day on average. Sometimes more on the weekend.

I spend a ton of time with my chickens. Our kids have been homeschooled this year, so we're home a lot. We all enjoy watching them just...exist lol. It's highly entertaining and I have found we spend more time outside. All in all a very positive experience.

Now that I have five Brahma chicks that my Speckled Sussex believes are her very own, I probably spend eight or so hours out here just hanging around and picking up chicks and chick poop!
