Guest Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 I never cease to be amazed at how these girls who have never seen grass before in their lives - and never been able to scratch anything - look so at home so quickly.. this is them after 4 days of freedom - but they were doing this on day one... chooks are amazing... http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v700/revnev/?action=view¤t=battsmpg.flv Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Fantastic. David Attenborough needs to watch out! I love the way they have already learned the two steps forward and one step back, bob down dance already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLK69 Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Is weird - I would never have thought as a grown women, I would be downloading videos and pics of chickens 'doing their thang' but do you know I can't wait till mine arrive and I can spend allday just watching the pecking and listening to the bok bok :lol: I'm amazed they are only 4 days out the battery systems - I pick up our 5 rescue chooks March 28th and I'm counting down like a kid b4 christmas - soooooooooooooooooo xcited Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 what a lovely video. Birds tweeting in the background, chooks doing the "chicken dance" (thats what I call it ), rooting around in the mud - doing just what they should be - and not stuck in a bloomin cage Lucky girls they are.

Eyren Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 They look very happy, Phil! The sad thing is that they don't need to learn how to scratch or do the "chicken dance" - it's instinctive. Which means they knew how to do it all along but were prevented by the horrible conditions they were kept in. No wonder they pull their feathers out from boredom!

chickweed Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 After watching your video I fee nicely chilled out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedusA Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 How wonderful! It is truly heartwarming to see that the girls learn so soon to do what comes naturally to them, (and so sad to think that so many never have that opportunity). Welling up now. Well done you for giving your girls such a wonderful new life! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
