They'll know better If they read your Article.Hello MyCircusMyMonkeys.
Welcome to BYC.
I do hope I won't be reading I'm to blame when they stop being cute and cuddly and their true nature shines through.![]()
I so agree. In evaluation the males, wow, so glad I read the article. No, I don't want an aggressive male...but know they are male and have tendencies. I want to do the best for our chickens and understand behavior. Welcome to the learning club.Oh my goodness, I don't think I realized how active it was here!! Thank you all very much for the warm welcome
@Shadrach @C Siena Siena is exactly right!! I'll know better thanks to you... Or if I don't, I'll at least know it's all my own faultBut seriously, that was an amazing article. I couldn't believe what you wrote about Random. Or rather—I can believe it, and it says so much outside of the common narrative about roosters existing only to mate, fight, and (at best) act as sentries. I'm so glad I read it early on so I could mess up a little less in my behavior towards them!
Let me add, no fault, but learning. Yes sometimes with consequences but learning for future knowledge/improvement.Oh my goodness, I don't think I realized how active it was here!! Thank you all very much for the warm welcome
