Crowing
Well, I made a big mistake, I went shopping with my parents and my siblings let the chickens in for the night. The young chickens this year freaked out and the three took an entire hour to get into the coop. These new chickens are a bit feral, most likely because I allowed a flighty panicky Sebright raise them. Sebrights, if you look at the wrong will basically refuse to eat for the entire day. So anyway one of her 3 roo babies, about 5-6 months old, ran into the woods and never came out. My siblings looked for him but it was useless, he has jungle fowl in his blood and no furless ape is gonna climb up a tree and become magically fast enough to capture him. Hopefully, he will survive, the only predator that I have seen in the ENTIRE year is two fat raccoons and they learned their lesson immediately when I slammed a metal pool in front of their face. Also, my chickens never liked my siblings so I should have expected this.
So what to learn from my mistake. Be careful with who you choose to let your chickens in for the night. Let them adjust and let the chickens in with the person for a few days before leaving them to themself. Like if you are going on vacation and are leaving the chickens caring to a pet sitter or family member. Let the chickens adjust.
