RE: The Time I Nearly Lost a Quail to the Grasslands [FUNNY]
Oh I did laugh! (I'm still laughing, actually). No room for mean animals, I love that!
Good to know that roosters won't necessarily attack each other if the ladies keep them calm. Unfortunately, what I've seen a lot is the other end of the spectrum: in the absence of a rooster hens can be just horrible to each other! Sure, they are noisy and don't lay eggs, but roosters do play an important role.
It's interesting, I think our personal owner energies might play a real part in their behavior. Some people, actually most people, who have chickens just get a handful of hens and things seem to go well. But their pecking order can definitely be brutal. I get people all the time asking around if they need to get rid of one of their chickens cause it's "attacking" others. But, to me, nothing to worry about unless there's blood and injury.
I really like your attitude. And yes, I agree, the owner's behavior, attitude, energies as you say, has a huge effect on animals. That's how you can have surprisingly well behaved critters. By the way, I believe this is true not only for animals but for people.
Thank you! :) It's been 30 years in the making. ;) hahaha.
