I got a bunch of hens. A few of them like to break out of their enclosed space and wander around the yard. Normally, I'm not too upset with it, but we are trying to grow grass and get the garden started, and they don't really help with either.
But when I see them out the window, I call them out by name and they start walking back towards their enclosure and wait for me to open the gate.
I refuse to believe my chickens have that level of awareness
They are fascinating if you just get stoned and watch them for a while. Like watching a telenovela about dinosaurs and not understanding a word of Spanish. They're all so expressive that you really don't need to know the dialogue, you can just figure it out. They've all got personalities and attitudes and a whole social structure.
Friend of mine always said he liked "watching chicken TV". He retired and #1 was looking forward to doing that all day + scotch.
We have chickens. "Chicken TV" is a real thing. We'll just hand on the deck and watch the chickens just "chicken" and they're fascinating to watch.
