Reply #14: I have two banty chickens for pets.... [View All]

[peacebuzzard]

I had three, but one, unfortunately died this past winter (she was really smart).
But the couple I have now are very domestic. They worry about each other's well being and do not like to be separated. They recognize me and trust me and even call out to me happily by crowing or clucking when I come home, after my multiple days/weeks away from home.
They feel the joys of comfort, like extra hay for bedding, or a special treat to eat. They fear strange dogs and are curious about my activities by staring at my actions when I work in the yard. They are familiar with my dogs and can distinguish them from other dogs.

There was actually a poster here a couple of years ago w/ input from a site called city chicken, I think http://www.angelfire.com/falcon/thecitychicken/
there, I just googled it....it has been jazzed up since last time she posted here. Interesting reading.
