When are chicks old enough to leave their mother?
Many chicks are artificially incubated and have no "parents" in that sense of the word. Chicks that are hatched under a hen will remain close to the hen as part of the flock for as long as they live. Chicks introduced to the flock at about 3 or 4 months old are assimilated into the flock within hours.
Every time I get close to my chicken and her baby she start to screech and puff up why is this?
The mother is most likely just protecting her chicks. Mother hens are often very protective of their young, especially newborns. This is not an uncommon thing. Try showing the hen that you won't hurt her chicks. I can't give you a lot of helpful advice on how to do this, but I am sure the Internet will help. Good luck! =)

How do you you train your new parakeet?
Leave it in its cage for about a week to get used to the new surroundings. Then let it out for a fly. make sure you close all blinds and curtains as the parakeet can crash into the window and get a terminal injury.
Why is your parakeet shivering?
Your parakeet may be cold or sick. If it is cold, you may have it too close to air conditioning or something that has cold drafts. If you get your parakeet wet enough and don't dry it, it could catch a chill and die. Sometimes they are simply nervous and will sit and puff out their feathers. You should take it to a veterinarian to make sure it is not sick.

What is the spiritual meaning of a parakeet?
Dude, you are reaching way too deep. You may as well contemplate water or rocks or the air. Better yet matter itself, or existence vs.nonexistence. The only real truth is that a parakeet is absolutely perfect at being a parakeet. Not a bear or turtle or fish comes even close to being a parakeet. When you realize this, it becomes apparent that you as a human, are also absolutely perfect at being a human. Hopefully this will help you find your place in, and be at peace with the Universe. Much Love.
Can you move a robins nest with babies in it?
Nothing will happen. Trust me. When people say that if you touch a nest full of baby birds the mother will abandon it, its not true. Some people believe that or parents just say that to little kids to keep them from touching it. Mother birds will NOT abandon their young if you touch or even handle the chick. I know first hand because as a teen I wanted to become a vet and I hatched a robin egg. Once it hatched I put it back into its mothers nest. I watched the nest and she always came back. Even if I came close or even touched to check the chick I hatched. It eventually grew up and flew away. So, don't believe it if you touch baby birds that the mother will abandon it. Its NOT true!
Is it normal to buy flower for a mother that's not your mother for Mother's Day?
It is normal, and not uncommon, to buy a flower for Mother's Day for a woman who is not your mother but who is a generation or more older than you and to whom you feel particularly close, as perhaps a sort of second mother or a close aunt.
Will a mother hen kill her baby chickens?
Hens as in Chickens/Chooks will always have a "pecking order" that is where the expression comes from. It is not uncommon for a chook to be "henpecked to death". They do not however fight as do the Cockrels/Roosters until the weaker one either runs away and escapes or it is killed.
