Hip Hillbilly Acres
Crowing
I have been describing them as lean and mean, aggressive and take no prisoners . But, I just read a thread and saw the word skiddish and think perhaps that is a better description. When I go to feed those babies they run around their pet playpen brooder like mad men and women. Now that they are older (we're talking 4 weeks here) they seem to want to peck a bit. I know I have to move fast to get out of their way. As I am lowering the food into their pen, man oh man get out of the way.
When I put fresh water in they storm it. I have it on TWO bricks and it still gets full of poop and shavings. They seem to knock each other out of the way for food and water - don't seem to be nice to each other at all from what I can tell.
For some reason I thought BA's were all docile, and sweet. Not complaining; simply observing.
Perhaps these qualities will fare them well when they go out to coop next month.
Any comments on this? TIA.
