WHAT DO THEY THINK LIKE

[RooStar Chicken Gang]

I do not want them to behave anyway, I was just asking the questions to invite convo and watch how it turns out. Why try twist what I have said.

They think......why do humans want us to act(think,feel,behave) like them?

Perception is not reality the goal is align the perception with reality to be able to perceive it correctly.

We may misunderstand what we perceive, and draw eroneous conclusions thereby - but to deny perception until it comports with one's belief of reality is a very special kind of psychosis.

On the assumption that you've not read, or failed to grasp, Orwell's "1984", I offer this more approachable, mass-market, fare.

They think: where is food? Where is water? Where is nooky? Where is dust? Where is nest? I'm pretty sure humans have a more complex intelligence, but this sounds a whole lot like my second ex-husband, except replace nest with cannabis.

I didn't 'twist' the little you posted.
Just completed the sentence you started, as what I thought was an invitation to speculate.

I would *like* to think they go on a little bit more than instinct but.... I've watched the same hens jump onto the top rail of a chainlink fence and completely forget they were able to do that minutes earlier to me calling them, so cue them pacing the fence, eventually running the same length of fence, and then squawling when they can't just phase through the fence as I'm throwing treats out to the hens that managed to jump the fence while they watched them jump it.....

They're... able to survive in their own way, which makes them intelligent in their own right.

I've been skimming this for a little while after googling if chickens have object permanence. It definitely shows chickens are smarter than a lot of people give them credit for, and I've always heard that most chickens are as intelligent as a 2-year old human.

But a 2-year old human also isn't very smart either, compared to *most* adults. I'm sure everyone in there would trust a 2-year old more than one single adult they know.

Clearly they follow Kant's teachings.

My Buff Orpingtons are Nihilists, but my Rhode Island Reds subscribe to Existentialism. The discussions can get quite heated at times.
