Chickens
As pets and useful garden
animals Before making a decision whether to keep
chickens either as pets or convenient egg-layers and insect- eaters, it would be
wise to check with the local council. Regulations vary from region to region
and, although some cities still allow residents to keep chickens, the practice
is far from usual today. Some communities prohibit roosters because of their
early morning crowing and only allow the much quieter hens. However, in most
rural areas, there are generally no restrictions on keeping chickens either as
ornamental or practical birds. There are some Asian ornamental
varieties with eye-catching plumage: the Cochin and Silkie from China have
distinctive feathery feet and the Phoenix from Japan has a strikingly long tail.
These are examples of birds that have been imported by western countries to
serve mainly ornamental purposes, even appearing in exhibitions.
Chickens do not have to be especially beautiful to make loving and gentle
companions and raising a few as garden pets is not at all difficult. The main
concern is protection from predators—both domestic predators such as dogs and
wild predators such as stoats and weasels. Backyard poultry need a secure place
to roost at night. A cage or other structure which provides shelter, perches and
nesting boxes with a lock-up door will suffice. Straw or non-toxic wood shavings
can be spread on the floor and in the nesting boxes. Nocturnal predators are a
danger and most chickens cannot flap their wings well enough to escape from
peril. However, as they will naturally return to the same roost at night, they
will enter the cage of their own volition as dusk falls and as long as the door
is shut after them, they will remain secure till morning. If the birds are
expected to stay in the chicken coop all day, a much larger structure is called
for. Chickens which are allowed to roam around the back garden
during the day will prove to be safe, natural and effective methods of insect
control. Not only that, but their constant scratching in search of insects will
take care of unwanted weeds under bushes and other plants and even provide some
beneficial soil cultivation. Chickens are great recyclers too and will eat
almost any kind of kitchen scraps—leftovers and wastage are turned into usable,
fresh, nutritious eggs! One of the benefits of free- ranging poultry is that
they are exposed to the benefit of abundant sunshine which is a great health
boost. On the other hand, wet weather can be perilous and make them more prone
to disease. A planned approach to disease and parasite control is needed for the
general health and well-being of backyard fowls. This may include a vaccination
programme, health supplements in their feed, and keeping them in a clean, dry
pen in times of extremely rainy weather. In dry weather, there is nothing more
luxurious for a hen than a good dust bath to take care of mites and other
problems. Young chicks are effortlessly turned into tame pets by hand feeding
and simply spending time with them. Older hens also respond well to being fed by
hand or they can be helped to forage for themselves if small rocks and other
items are turned over allowing them access to the bugs and worms beneath. In
both these cases, human presence is undoubtedly associated with food and will
not only be tolerated but welcomed. Thus, companionship is assured and sought
after! Chickens are said to be loyal, intelligent and even cheeky but it
probably depends on the depth of their avian-human relationships.
Breeding chickens will obviously require a rooster to fertilise the hens'
eggs. If local by-laws allow it, invest in a rooster and watch his fascinating
courting behaviour. Typically, when he finds food, he clucks in a high pitch to
attract the hens and lets them eat first. When he is courting a particular hen,
he may circle her, dragging one wing on the ground—attracting her attention in
this way is just part of the mating ritual. When a hen goes
'broody', she stops laying eggs and sits on the nest to incubate the clutch of
eggs under her. She will rarely leave the nest during this stage, even to eat or
drink, because she must keep the eggs at a constant temperature and humidity.
Incubation takes approximately three weeks but the eggs do not hatch all at the
same time so she will stay on the nest for a few more days. After the eggs have
hatched, she will take care of the new chicks. This is a time when it is
naturally important to keep predators away. Raising chickens
can be a satisfying and enjoyable hobby. They do not need as much care and
attention as most pets and there is always the reward of wholesome and
nourishing eggs to look forward to. Do the following statements
