My chickens are quite independent. My interference in their lives is limited to feeding them and taking care of their health. They don't have any responsibilities. Even about eggs. And even more so chickens. It would seem that under such conditions my yard should be filled with chickens. No, it's not like that. My feathered beauties are in no hurry to incubate chicks. Of course, it happens from time to time, but there are surprisingly few chickens. Despite the fact that I isolate my mother and her children, usually not all of them survive. Natural selection works and I don't interfere in the process. Therefore, the survivors are usually active, healthy and intelligent chickens.
