Oh no! Keep that big guy safe. My rooster, Boomer; is roughly 6 years old now and that guy still jumps up on my coops, in trees - everything! It's unbelievable.

He should have a tripping contest with my Java hen. She’ll trip over specks of dirt on the ground

I usually just squat down, but then I’m literally mobbed by the ones who want to be hugged If I laid down I think they’d just walk all over me…

Mine don't give two craps about me unless I say "HEEEERRE CHICK, CHICK CHICK CHIIIICCK!" And have my blue feed scoop.

Question: How old was the oldest chicken you've ever had?

9 years old. She likely would've lived longer if it wasn't for the cold.

Question: How old was the oldest chicken you've ever had?

My Java, Peeper, is going to be 8 this March She’s my only broody right now, I’m debating whether it would be mean to let her hatch this year…she got so skinny last time.

Thank you! My chickens manage to stay pretty clean, especially when they have access to the pasture.
