Things i never knew about chickens...

The happier my girls are the happier I am.

Chickens are actually very pretty.

Chickens don't like the dark.

They have big personalities.

Chicken doesn't taste as good as it used to

They can jump surprisingly high for a yummy treat That's one of my daughters favorite things to do with our girls.

They are flock animals (they like to hang out together and will follow the others).

They are disgustingly cannibalistic. I've seen my hens kill baby birds, dig moles up from the ground and chase down mice and frogs. So nasty!

 

[Dreysander]

Yeah people don't normally think of chickens as predators, but it would suck to be a mouse who accidentally gets into a chicken run.

It's hilarious to watch my birds fight over a worm. One grabs it and the rest chase it till they manage to get a piece.

 

[Picklesquidly]

Chicks poop a lot!

 

[Blooie]

Chickens are very good human being trainers. <sigh>

I never knew that the words "I have nine chickens and I'm a part of an online chicken keeping community" would ever come out of my mouth

So long story short, I never knew those cute little chicks could make me so happy and be a rewarding hobby for me.

I never thought that I would love having chickens. I never thought I would be entertained by chickens. The list goes on and on.
