OOhh. Second dumb question.... Do they go in the coop at night?

My ducks will be living with the chicks in the coop. We have a creek beside the house that hopefully they will enjoy otherwise a kiddy pool will do.

I feel so naive or maybe its because of the field I'm in but I had no idea that people thought otherwise regarding the pain, suffering, and cognitive abilities of chickens/birds described in the article. People think they don't experience pain and fear???? Did I misread it!

I have regularly come across people who think they are mindless automatons with feathers - no brain at all. They think that's where bird-brain comes from - because they have no brains. (Ok, they don't help their own poor reputation by staying out in the rain, but still...) Along with that goes the assumption that they cannot feel pain. Get used to it - you will find this attitude more common than not. Don't get upset - just feel sorry for people who live with that kind of ignorance and lack of compassion. In a weird way, it kind of enhances the joy and excitement of discovering how "with it" they are, how involved they are in participating in their world. It's like we chicken owners are privileged to watch a slice of life that others never get to see, and our own lives are enhanced by it. Watching "chicken tv" never gets old.
