Nanners says, "Raising the chickens is fun! But, it can, also, be a challenge."
Mashers says, "You get to see how they grow, their personality changes as they grow, and their behaviours. Some might be grumpy, some might be sweet, some might just be lazy!" Chickens are so funny sometimes! They can run into each other when they get really active. Other times, they stick their heads into everything they think there might be food in (like a lizard, a bug, or their feed). It's so cute when the babies poke their heads out from underneath mama. Some of the adults aren't as fond of being touched, but they don't peck us. Instead, they will try to hide their faces underneath the chicken next to them. Sometimes, the chicks play with each other, like when one grabs a piece of food and runs around peeping so the others will chase them. Chickens are very smart birds! They can learn how to push doors open, get to high places, and hide eggs they want to sit on. They know how everyone looks, even people. They know which person feeds them good stuff, which person is too noisy for them, which person they can jump on, and which person they should run from. They know who each member of their flock is just by the way they look, even if several look the same to us. They know when someone from their flock goes missing, and they sometimes grieve if that individual is dead. It's funny to watch Big Mama keep the roosters in line. It doesn't matter how tough the rooster thinks he is, if he crosses the line, Big Mama will put him back in his place. She has a very dominant personality. Others, like Egg Muncher, are very timid and keep to themselves. Some of them, despite being huge, are just big babies, like Hugh, the huge, sweet baby. He's "Hugh-mungus!" "No matter what their attitude is, we still love them," Nanners said about his feathered friends. "I think it's cool how chickens have their own personality," said Mashers, matter-of-factly.
