I have two chicken families. It wasn't planned, it just so happened that there were two cocks and I had to divide them to live in different enclosures.
Now I'm watching with interest how each of these families builds their own life.
Sultan and his girls Zephyr and Gray are definitely in the mood for a big family and are planning chickens. Despite the fact that their house is very small. Although this year I plan to re-enhaul it a bit and make it more comfortable. Especially if this family grows.
The second family lives in a big chicken house. Their conditions can be considered more comfortable. However, they are not in a hurry to have little chickens. Probably, their plans include free social life, parties and travelling 😁
I'm just watching. I'm quite satisfied with both options, because I don't eat meat and my birds in my house are not for that at all. They are as much pets as my dogs and cats.
