Official BYC Poll: How Do You Keep Your Chickens Happy?

[BYC Project Manager]

Keeping chickens happy is important when raising them and is a lot like keeping ourselves happy. Things that make us happy are having fresh food and water available, being surrounded by our loved ones, having freedom, playing games and sports and of course, having a home to live in. Chickens are the same way. So, if you think that keeping chickens happy requires lots of extra effort, you’re wrong. They really only need the basics to stay happy and healthy.

So how do you keep your chickens happy? Place your vote above.

Great topic! For mine their favorite treats are live crickets from the bait store. All the answers are good picks but I left my as free range, clean coop daily and treats

I talk to them a lot... from 'good morning' to how pretty they are. I do believe they enjoy that I do talk to them.

That's a good one. I've added it to the poll options.

I let them poop on my deck... apparently pooping everywhere makes them happy

Letting my older hens sleep in my hoodie makes my days, and she sure likes it!

I clean my coop almost daily (work schedule doesn’t allow daily) and while I clean it I have music playing that I sometimes leave going for them for a couple hours. I talk to them and cuddle them, give them special treats along with their main feed.
All this and still they freeload. Not one ‘thanks for a cushy life’ egg.
