Some Fav Chicken Links

In talking with a good friend this morning I realized I may have neglected to share some favorite chicken links I found a few months ago. The videos are long, but they are FASCINATING to anyone who has a relationship with their chickens :) Smart little girls!!



This is an article about the benefits of eating eggs laid by happy girls:

This series of videos was produced by some documentary guy in England. It is about the intelligence of chickens and was mostly filmed at a "chicken shelter" where the woman collects hens too old for egg production from commercial houses and then after letting them acclimate to non-prison lives, finds homes for them. I loved that part, but also really enjoyed the chicken-training sections.

I know my girls are smart for sure ... and it is great to see it documented.
