They run slightly hotter than us. Like their breath is a bit hot. I look up the exact temp when they get ill but I can’t get it to stick in my head.
btw chickens are so fun. They’re social animals so they’re pretty smart, have complex dynamics between each other, and once they get used to you are really interactive. They’re kinda like cows on many aspects.
Yes, I actually know that, and how hard it is to spot health concerns with them.
I wish I could one day have chickens.
Chickens are cool, they have super interesting chicken politics, are basically somehow intrinsically funny most of the time, and they provide free butt nuggets as an extra bonus.
Huh, first time I’ve heard the cow & chicken (great cn show too) reference in the wild - I also have that exact association, initially bcs of how they can decide to socially bully someone for some teenage reason (so even without physical abuse they just stop taking to or don’t look at someone & don’t let them in the circle, those little fucks).
Yeah, often it’s too late when we notice. Prey instincts and all…
We had an adorable black tipped hen that got bit (probably by a fox, it was the season). I noticed that she was acting a bit sluggish. The wound had gotten infected and about half her abdomen had rotten. I put her out of her misery.
Chickens are a bit worse than cows regarding bullying. They peck at each other, especially if there’s already a wound. It can get serious enough that you have to separate the affected chicken and reintroduce them slowly with the others.
I raise chickens, that’s how I know :p

Pets are great, but at the cost of bittersweet sadness.
Also chicken segregation until they manage to get a treaty (if they ever do) is also funny.
