What birbs would you be getting?

I’m French and in the zeitgeist the rooster is more important than he actually is. With it being the national animal and shit.

Yeah their organisation is kinda fluid but there are still some power struggles. And it can get ugly really fast.

For example, if a chicken gets wounded, sometimes the others will peck at the wound. In less than a day it can go from a small sore caused by a pin feather to an open wound requiring urgent care and deploying the chicken wire Berlin Wall.

It doesn’t help that the sneaky little buggers will hide when they’re sick or injured. Both because they’re prey animals and because they’re little asshole dinosaurs. Before I got more used to it, they were half dead when I noticed something was off. It still happens from time to time but less often. They’ll even “pretend eating” by pecking at the ground to fool you and the others when something causes too much discomfort.

You have to feel their crops by hand to be absolutely sure that they’re not casually dying of hunger when sick.
