I had two chickens.
I once approached them with 2 boiled potatoes and one rushed towards me.
She looked behind her and saw that the other one hadn't noticed me yet.
She then grabbed the smaller potato, ran towards her sister and 'accidentally' dropped it.
The other one immediately grabbed it and ran away with it.
Then the first chicken returned to me and took the larger potato.
She runs away to her spot, drops her prize, gets ready to inhale it, suddenly looks back at the tower and decides her prize is not enough, leaves it, runs back to the tower for a better morsel.
Hens are crazy and cute. We had a girl wake up dead the other day, so our flock shrank a little (sad face)
Why do I have the feeling there’s a completely automated machine to do this, that is expensive to buy and maintain and does worse job then this shawarma stick.
I’ve seen them partially eat young chicks. If one of them gets injured then the rest of them will peck it to death (might be compulsive). Really vicious creatures honestly, they eat everything.
They’d eat anything. They’d eat their fellow chickens if they could. When my cats goes out to poo in the yard, the chickens would gather around. Then they’d peck at the diarrhea as it’s coming out
They do eat their own kind. My school had a chicken farm on the premises and if you dropped an egg they'd rush and eat it and a few times we came in the morning to find one of the old ones dead and being eaten
Thank you for writing, Concerned. Of course your question touches on one of the basic biological impulses, with all its associated hopes and fears for the future of the species. I also detect some unspoken questions. Do our benefactors really know what's best for us? What gives them the right to make this kind of decision for mankind? Will they ever deactivate the suppression field and let us breed again? Allow me to address the anxieties underlying your concerns, rather than try to answer every possible question you might have left unvoiced.
I'm so grateful for your continued efforts to reach out and connect to the community. It's a rare beacon of solace. Sacred Gentle Leamuel knows I need it. Sometimes I feel so insecure when I'm struggling through the crowd to peck at the flesh of a colleague impaled on the shawarma. I find myself unintentionally analysing my furtively glimpsed memories of their genuflections and asking myself if my engraved stonework ablations are any less meticulous or devout than theirs. And then I'm consumed with fear that I incur the Eye of Profanity through my indulgent overlooking and overthinking! I don't know how to quell this Circle of Transgression. Do the Hallowed Cartwrights of the Ascended read it in my signs? Should even that query itself be banished from mentality?
Can I get a source saying feather color affects flavor? Games flavor comes from diet not appearance.
Edit: yall these are not silkies. Or cemanis. If they were they also wouldn’t be running around with other breeds. They wouldn’t have dark skin or dark meat. These are regular leghorns or welsummers. Hard to tell when they’re all moving around what exact breed tho.
Typically you are correct but some breeds of chickens are fully melanated. The ones whose crops and eyes are fully back are most likely melanated chickens. The meat itself is black all the way through not just the feathers. I have never eaten one and I don’t think I ever would. They’re specifically bred because they are beautiful and are mostly purchased as pets. If this guy has eaten a melanated chicken I think they might just be dumb. If they ate a chicken that has white meat and just black feathers and thought it was different because of the feather color he is confirmed dumb.
Yeah, people just don't know hence the down votes on my comment. I tried them once and eating black breasts just isn't for me. The taste is foul (pun intended).
He’s right, it’s not just the feathers that are black, skin, beak and sometimes even internal organs and bones are all black/darkened. They taste different than normal chicken. More umami and gamey
There’s also different kinds of chickens. Some are bred to be egg laying. You don’t normally eat those. Other chickens are meant specifically for butchering
