    I loved having chickens, but sometimes you can tell they’re little dinosaurs. One time I was doing something near the chicken run, and all six of them suddenly went quiet and dead still. Then a wasp flew through the run and one of the hens jumped about 2-3 feet off the ground and knocked it right out of the air. Another hen ran over to where it landed and ate it. It was all over in about 15-20 seconds, the birds went back to acting normal and I’m just standing there going, “Damn!”.

      One of my hens came up to me as I stepped outside, but instead of following me around, she leaped at something to my left. She shredded apart a 4-inch long mantis!

        And then they give the best eggs. The best eggs are made of mice and bugs

          You gotta be careful though because sometimes they get a craving for the high taurine diet and start eating their own eggs. Incredibly hard problem to fix once it starts.

            Idk seems like some breading and frying or baking and stuffing would solve the problem lol.

              Well yes but then your egg production from the chicken(s) goes down to zero.

    If any bird still acts like it thinks it’s a dinosaur, it’s those goddamn Canadian Geese.

      When i was a kid, there was this lady who lived on my way to school. Dhe had a nice, fenced garden and two huge dogs and like 10 geese. I was never scared of the dogs, vut the geese were vicious. Sometimes they were on the lose and my way home turned into a survival horror game. They never stopped chasing. Dometimes i took some bread with me to throw and run away. One day they were chasing me i ran like a motherfucker around a corner and threw my last breaf. there was this young family with two little kids, and i was so relieved, because that was an easy way to lose them and at the same time i hoped that they were good runners. I honestly don’t even know what would’ve happend if they ever caught me and i’m glad i never found out. I really miss these fuckers.

      Geese, ducks and chickens had all already evolved when the dinosaurs went extinct. They are all tough hombre.

    If you’ve ever seen what roosters do to hawks, chickens do do mice or, heck, other weak chickens, then you’d know that they do remember.

        Cassowaries have a claw on their middle toe that is up to 12cm long.

        Im just going to assume it’s possible even if its unlikely.

        I’ve heard that they might’ve been covered in feathers as children, but didn’t grow any more as they got older, so they’d be spread out, not covering much, which is also how it works with elephants and hair.

    Rhode Island Red or a hybrid thereof (e.g. Golden Comet).

    Great egg layers (the hens of course, not the roo pictured) and very mild mannered.
