Chickens do best in moderate temperatures.
The are adaptable to extremes, but need shelter from the severe cold and heat.
Temperatures from 50F to 80F are preferred as far as laying eggs.
Day old chicks need the higher temperatures only until their feathers are fully formed.
Chickens themselves produce heat. A single 5lb commercial laying hen produces something like 10 watts of heat so having 10 chickens in the coop is about the same as running a 100w lightbulb.
In fact chickens can fly but domesticators usually clip their wings to keep them on the ground. It's pigs that can't.
Like all other life forms. They eat, process that food and obtain nutrition.
play games and draw pictures of what you think your chickens will look like. set up fences and prepare your house and yard for your chickens. make your property ready so your chickens will have a good life at your house!
Materials with high thermal conductivity such as metals like aluminum and copper are good reflectors of heat. Reflective materials like silver and polished stainless steel also reflect heat effectively. These materials are often used in items like cookware, reflectors, and building insulation to manage heat.
Mine are mad about grapes! Chickens like to eat all sorts of stuff, like meal worms, corn, rice, and sometimes dirt. Some chickens like lettuce, but you have to cut the pieces up really small or worms, spiders, etc chickens eat any thing but they like whole corn better
bees eat chicken because they cannot digest cows...cows are too big for bees to swallow whole as they do chickens...i had a whole swarm of bees in my chicken coop all my chickens died...i am penniless but i plan on robbing their hive of honey and sell it for a profit
sometimes, but they may get 'divorced' and keep seperate homes like we humans do.
yes they can. chickens LOVE strawberries. like me!
Black chickens like white chickens and white chickens like black chickens.
You can keep Silke chicken with other chicken types. Like all chickens, they may not get along.
Chickens live in a coop, which is like a small house for chickens with nest boxes for them to lay eggs in and perches for them to sleep on.
