How to Better Understand Your Backyard Chickens

If we understand the behaviors and mannerisms of any of our pets, we can have a better relationship with them.

And so it is with chickens! Everything they do (and say) has meaning.

In this week\\u2019s episode, I invite author Melissa Caughey to teach us a thing or two about chickens and their personalities.

You will learn:

• That chickens are smarter than we realize
• How they communicate without sounds
• The main factor that determines pecking order
• The role of the sentinel in your flock
• Why your hens all cackle at once
• The sound they make as greeting
• Why chickens might growl and why
• And other interesting facts about our feathered friends
