jumping

<< video linked below >> This is my sweet blue copper maran, Pippin. She's been laying since September 2023. A very odd layer, she laid every single day for the first month and then took three months off. She's now back to a fairly consistent every other day, but she's started a new pre-laying...

Hi everyone! I have 6 black australop babies who have been housed in a separate cook with mama hen this whole time. Lately I have been letting mama hen out of the smaller coop to roam with other hens as she seems eager to rejoin the rest of the flock. Today I realised when I put mama hen back...

Hi! My chickens are jumping on to our fence and then over into the next pasture. It is usually our rooster that leads most of the flock over, some choose not to go. I don’t love that they do this because then we have to keep our dogs from going outside. The issue is once he leads them over...

Praise the Lord, our baby ducky hatched and is doing well!!! She (he) is in her brooder as of just now, and she is jumping way higher than we thought baby duckies could jump! Do y’all know if this is typical baby ducky behavior? She hatched alone, and we have a stuffed duck in there with her...

I just want to know how to stop a young rooster he is only 19 weeks old from jumping on my hen who is also a 19 weeks old, is there a way to stop roosters from jumping ? I don’t want to get rid of him cause he is so sweet but I don’t want him to hurt my hen ( I guess they can injure hens pretty...

I have a Speckled Sussex hen that likes to jump onto (and sometimes sit on) my back. Is this normal and should I keep letter her do it? I think of it as a way to bond.. but sometimes she does it when I don't expect!

Hi everyone This is my first post in the forum after being able to find plenty of advice on this forum over the past 2 years since owning chickens. When I first purchased my hens, I had a simple coop where as the hens walked in, they effectively walked onto the perches which were just above...

I have this one and a half years old white leghorn Rooster, named Shaggy. I think he's more or less 2.5 kg. About last year I hear him jumping in his coop during the night. He's very energetic so I think it's just chasing some insect. But around two nights ago, it's happening really violently...

I have 2 pullets right now who are about 4 1/2 weeks of age. They've been jumping at each other and flapping their wings for quite a while, and I've read that this is normal. We also have 2 pullets at about 2 1/2 weeks that are in a combined brooder with them. Everything has gone relatively...

just picked up a silver laced Wyandotte. She’s about 14-16 weeks old and nice and healthy. I’ve started noticing today that she just keeps sitting. She will walk around (a little bit awkwardly) and then just sit down and eat. She still jumps onto twigs and branches and even onto her small...

Here's some Gifs of my gals jumping for joy for their favorite treats. Share your ladies (and gents) enjoying their favorite treats!

I have a chicken who stays in the coop run and all day long jumps up at the wall. I don't know what she is doing. Anyone have any ideas? I inherited this chicken from my dad's flock. It's either a Rhode Island red or a red sexlink I think.

Hi! I am a total newbie and I have tried searching for the answer to my question but can't quite find one. My 3 week old chicks LOVE to fly and perch and explore. They often fly from the top of their feeder to the edge of the brooder when I have the lid off. But then they basically jump from...
