  • I had a few chickens, raised them from chicks. All hens. Had them for eggs. Everyday when I would come home form work, I would go out in the backyard and call, "chicky chicky chickies!" and they would all come waddling as fast as they could. I would feed them and then have a few beers out in the back with them. They were like dogs. Sometimes they'd jump up on my lap and just hang out and look at me, eye to eye. They will talk to you as well with their low light chirps. They were great gals! Great memories I will always cherish.

    • Aww man that was my favourite part of my chickens too. I loved it most when they'd chat to me in the same way old women sit around playing cards and chatting. They really see you as part of their family. They are so socially intelligent, but in a way that can be foreign to us just because bird brains are wired a bit differently to mammal brains.

  • My mom had a flock of Leghorns in Arizona. One day we heard the loudest cacophony of screeching and very loud chicken sounds that we had ever heard from our chickens! Feathers were flying and all the chickens were concentrated in about a 5 foot area. Once we could see better, it turns out they had pecked to death a large rattle snake 😮😲 We didn’t even know chickens would do that! Way to go chickens !!! 🥳🥳🥳👍👍👍

    • I love my mum's chickens. My son had found one in the flock that was a hen he named Chad (he says Chad is synonymous with "cool and relaxed"). It was the only hen that would let us pick her up with absolutely no issues. The rest will get close to us, but they only come for food, which I think is very ironic. 🤷🏾‍♀️

  • I love chickens. We had one chicken years ago that my daughter “won” after a school egg hatching project. I loved that little bird. She hung with me in the garden everyday, and would run up to meet me when I drove in the driveway and she would hobble up the basement stairs where her coop was (attached to a window ) and would sit on a chair on a newspaper while I worked on the computer. She lived for seven years and laid an egg almost every day. And I had the best compost pile around! I still miss her.

    • Chickens are awesome all purpose animals. As a kid living in Melbourne Australia my parents had a chicken coup and run on one side of the yard and a vegetable garden on the other. Every year my father and a few mates would carry the coup/house across the yard and the role of the areas would be reversed. We had the best veggie garden! Every few years we’d cull the chickens and get more from a local egg farm. The chickens weren’t good to eat but nothing ever went to waste. They were boiled down into a kind of meaty stock which was strained and frozen in Tupperware and used for cooking, the bones & all the egg shells from the previous years were turned into a paste in a homemade mortar and pestle then dried (my job) and fed back to the new birds as part of their diet for the first year. I had to turn over the chook yard every weekend. All of our kitchen scraps were fed to the chooks, what wasn’t eaten got turned in and fed the worms. Even grass clippings went into the chook yard, what wasn’t eaten either composted or attracted bugs which were. Everyone talks about Green Solutions today but have forgotten the most simple stuff. I still have chickens to this day (50years later) and the same system works just as well. The only change is that I only keep 6 chooks and I have two small coups. We get more than enough eggs for us and trade the excess ones for chook food instead of the 24 my parents used to run and sell or trade the eggs for money or vegetables we didn’t grow. I don’t pay for chook food and my neighbours love the eggs and provide all sorts of food for the girls. They also provide great entertainment for the local kids who get a real kick out of feeding them and collecting the eggs. My oldest son is an enigma, we’ve often been given fertilised eggs to set under a clucky bird and the mother will get up and allow him to inspect her chicks without any aggression but turn into Rambo The Killer Chicken when I go near. We got CJ to use nail polish to mark the hens since he was about 10yo and he still comes and does it now. How he knows is a mystery to us but he says it’s as easy as looking at people. He’s never marked a chick as female which didn’t turn out to be a hen and only missed one to my knowledge in about 200.

  • I took a miniterm at my high school all about chickens. We went to various kinds of local individuals who kept chickens, one on a farm, and two just in their backyard. I'll never forget the amount of respect found in each owner towards their chickens. The one that stays in my head the most was the last one we visited with this woman and her young grandson. He was so proud and happy about the chickens, he knew all their names and would pick them up and show them to us. It was absolutely adorable, and the chickens were so calm around him. We got to hold a chicken and take pictures (as it was also a photography class), and when it came to me holding the chicken the little gall fell asleep and nuzzled her beak into my sleeve. I'll never forget that moment, I wanted to take her home lol. From that class I learned that...I really want chickens someday.

  • There was this one day when I was 18 years old. My parents just left for vacation, I was playing a game on the computer and didn't notice how late it was. Then I started hearing all this weird knocking at the door, all the chickens were outside pecking at the screen door to get my attention. So I went out to see what all the noise was as they walked with me towards the chicken coup, they were in a panic about something, since they normally put themselves away for the night but they came instead to get help. I get out there and all it was, was this big fat opposum, didn't mean to cause such a ruckus... He was really only interested in the feeding tray on the ground. He got the hint and slowly went away. After this the chickens were able to calm down and go up on their roosts to settle in. I closed up their door and made it all safe for the night. It was just so strange that they came knocking at the door like that. Get the humans they can help us with the intruder!

They're usually good during the day, our chickens were free range, they loved getting outside stretching their wings and rolling around in dirt on hot days. They were very tame too, we could walk right over and pick them up, and they would go nuts when we were gardening because we'd dig up grubs and stuff that they wanted. Was a little annoying at times because they'd get right on the shovel. They don't 'need' heat but we still had a little heater set up in their home for really cold nights. Lots of fresh hay. Their home was built very solid. Nothing was able to get in there. We also had an outdoor pen attached in case we felt like keeping them safe inside while still being able to get some air and sunlight. You need to bury the chicken wire deep down so nothing digs under it.

  • My Chickies knew that if we called out "Giiiiiiirls!", we either had treats or wanted to snuggle, so they'd come running! I swear one of them used emotional manipulation on me! She hopped over the fence to the side of the yard we didn't want them in and I had to go get her. My younger sister named her "Batman" because she was a black Bantam Australorp; we didn't want to call a hen "Batman", so we called her "Baby Bat" instead. I went outside with my hands on my hips and yelled out "Baby Bat! You bad girl!", and she booked it across the yard to me, hopped up the small set of stairs to the porch where I was standing, and then crouched down in front of me so I could pick her up. Once I picked her up and held her, she immediately nuzzled her head into my neck and smacked her beak happily. I couldn't be mad at that! It was so cute!

  • Tip: if you're scared that foxes eat your chickens, take one (1) goose duckling and put it with the chickens. It will grow up and protect your chickens at all costs and most foxes don't dare to attack a goose. Only take one goose though, otherwise it won't bond with the chickens. Goose eggs are edible and mainly used in hot dishes. Goose are hilarious, you won't regret it.

There were many times that we observed startlingly intelligent behavior. I've known dogs that were much dumber. Some smarter, too, but there's probably some chickens out there that would give even the smartest dogs a run for their money. I wonder what the smartest chicken breed is.

      @sophypancake279@sophypancake2794 жыл бұрын
    • @Naurius Well enjoyment fits better than fun. Because factory farming makes them suffer and the ends are eating them or our eggs, which is enjoyment considering that we don't need to eat them to survive (if you don't believe humans can live healthily on a vegan diet, you have to at least agree that it's not necessary to eat so much eggs and meat that it's necessary to farm them on such a large scale and you just as well might farm less of them under better conditions to still receive the health benefits of eating eggs). So while making chicken suffer on purpose is definitely more malicious than farming them under terrible conditions, the same factors make it morally bad (in my opinion): You are making someone suffer for your own ends (be that food or the pure enjoyment of their suffering). Does that make sense? (I do realize you might not agree with a lot of the premises that lead up to this analysis but this is how I see it and explaining them as well would go way overboard)

  • This was a wonderful documentary! I enjoyed every minute of it! How I wish all chickens were free range! Now that I know how smart they really are, it seems very cruel indeed to keep them in cages in barns without natural light. I am glad in the USA we now have laws about how chickens are treated. Yet I know there are still places that exist where there is animal cruelty. I am slowly becoming more and more of a vegetarian, as I quit pork 100 percent. My beef consumption is almost minute. My chicken consumption is about 3 percent of my diet now. I just love animals so much. I received a baby chick when I was in first grade. WE had a group of five eggs that hatched in our first grade classroom. I was one of the winners to take a chick home. WE lived in the city! MY chick was the ONLY one that survived, and I could bring it back for show and tell. Then she got big enough, she had to go to my Aunt's and Uncle's farm to live. I was only 7 seven years old when Miss Peeps went away. My parents waited until I was 15 years old to tell me Ms. Peeps was picked on by the other chickens so much, she had to be by herself. So one Sunday my cousin's family had her for Sunday dinner! Wow! I cried, and I was not happy! I asked why they waited so long to tell me? My folks said, "Gee why do YOU think we waited?" Then I hugged them, as I realized it was the right thing to do, and after all, this is sometimes the cycle of life. I felt like a hypocrite, as we were eating someone's chicken for dinner! Duh! Thanks for a great documentary, and for taking me back to wonderful childhood memories with my pet chick! Love, from Oregon, Michelle

  • Years ago when I had chickens 12 hens and one giant rooster, I had no problems with pests at all, bugs, snakes, rats you name it everything disappeared. What I thought was interesting is if the rooster found something wild to eat like a spider, mouse etc. he would stand next to it let out a unique call and the hens would run to that spot and fight to get that food. He was very protective and nurturing to all his ladies especially in the early morning when I would let the chickens out of the henhouse. When you own and get to know your chickens it’s amazing house smart and entertaining they are. Everyone has its own personality, just like the lady here I named everyone of them. Also you learn their calls when they’re hungry or especially when there’s a predator in the yard. They are very busy and they will keep you busy

Living like this is destroying our planet, causing heart disease, contributing to diabetes and cancer. Meat eating for 7 billion people is unsustainable, unhealthy and causes unnecessary suffering to billions of sentient beings.

  • Don't you ever think chickens are dumb. Down in Key West, in the Florida Keys, there are thousands of chickens, who live all around the island. Some of the people dislike them, but they're nice birds, a beautiful coloring of red and black. One day I had to go down there and as I turned a corner, I saw a family (they hang around as families) crossing the street. The rooster led the group, followed by the hen and behind her a row of half grown chicks. As I approached in my car the rooster saw me and ran back and stood in the middle of the street, facing me. I, of course, stopped the car. He stood there while the chicks passed and after the last one crossed, he ran behind them. I then proceeded. I couldn't believe what I'd just seen, how like humans he had acted, going back to block traffic and let his "children" pass under his gaze. It was a long while before I could eat chicken again !

Growing up with chickens in our backyard, I figured out how to train ours to do all kinds of tricks. Their different vocalizations were easy to learn. Their moods and body language became quite obvious with enough observation. The results of the various experiments in this video shouldn't surprise any chicken owner.

  • I grew up around chickens for many years and I can whole heartedly say that these animals are probably the most therapeutic and relaxing to watch and be around. When you watch them long enough you start to get a sense that they have their own little community going on. You'll learn who the leader is. Who the most desired hen is. Who the least desired rooster is. You'll watch young chickens grow up to be dominant chickens. You'll see the personality build within each chicken that'll make them very distinct. There's so much more to chickens. You'll also learn how to determine what their body language means. What the sounds they make mean. There is so much to learn from chickens! honestly!! I mean I'm still gonna eat them regardless. But still!!! Go buy some chickens to raise and keep watching them everyday. It's kinda like watching a live tv show except with chickens. entertaining stuff.

    • Nope.avi Back then I was in Asia, there no such things as snow. Have you tried using a gun? a few bullets might work for taking down. (joking) Well, my family, we have a little code between us and our chickens, we make a sound that has absolutely no meaning for human but these keys sound is uniques and distinct to chicken. When using the sound the chicken know it is us human (their owner) is calling for them like lunchtime or food time for them or 'shuu!' them away. It is very necessary that you training the young with the basic command like this (the come here or rally them to you and to get them away from you in case you are busy and need space). And not just sound from mouth/lip but also include gestures or so call body language. Once they get to understand and follow your command, then the rest new generation chicks to comes will be easy to control as they will follow the big ones and recognise your command. For example, I stand near the feeding area by just standing some chicken nearby in the area would already head up to see what I was doing, and if I clap my hands and try to make the loud noise (Kuuuuk! ku ku ku ku Kuuuuuuuuuu~) to calling them and repeating like 2 or 3 more times, but also watch to make sure most chickens were there present in front and not like half are absent, if so then continue calling and maybe move myself to other connor of the area in case the sound echo didn't reach the missing one and I usually get to see like 2 to 6 'running late chicken' but that is okay coz they are here and it time to feed them by throw food in the air scatter and drop to ground. Sometimes my father uses this calls to gather our chicken and make the rough population counting, and at one point we reach almost 600. And that was too much to keep so my dad use this call as well to capture the chicken and gave to a neighbouring farm. (Snake hate chicken's poops) Back then I was young and sad that our chicken reduces to about 120 to 150, but not long after like about a year and a half, the chicken repopulate back to a steady number like 300 ish. So yeah, All in all, it pretty much the bond, instinct, and signal between chickens and the human owner. If you don't have this kind of relationship with your chicken, then you are having a problem with the one you were asking about and the only solution is "to uses force (that may seem violence like using net or trap or something). If you plan to continue pet chicken for more generation in future then it not too late to train them with sound command, you can even make up your unique sound, but remember that if you going to use that 'unique sound' then use it consistently like every time before giving them foods and they will remember this sound mean food or calling depend on situation you training them. I am not professional of all chicken, I was merely a country boy and that was my personal experience and how I command them when I was young about schooler ages. I hope my experience story could help you, and Good Luck.

One moment that sticks in my memory was when some hens that had to be coaxed out of their new night-time shelter/hen house stood bewildered on the grass on the first morning and looked up at the sky as though in wonder at the space or the fact that there was no ceiling! (Or were they reverting to natural behaviour and checking for predators? It didn't seem like it.)
