The modern chicken, which is a subspecies of red junglefowl, has retained its ability to fly short distances. Chickens will general fly up and down from roosting areas as well as trees, but they are not capable of long-distance flight beyond the length of a football field or so. gfycat.com/confusedgoodfl…

Advice? I noticed my rooster holding up his foot today so I checked him out dreading bumble foot and it seems he’s got a broken toe. Do I fix it or just let it heal crooked? He’s roosting fine, just holding it up when standing for a long period. reddit.com/gallery/rvgxa3

How do flocks of birds tell each other apart when stationary or roosting?

(Based in Australia)

2 examples

rainbow lorikeets sleep in large trees in carparks by the hundred, where there's flat land around and when you are there the screeching is deafening. How could one find its friends when coming towards the tree?

/second/ emperer penguins make those massive colonies where they look identical yet they find there mates when they return to it. same noise issue. do they remember the placement of every rock?

do bird have micro variations in there calls or something? like can they see scarred feather/scratches that are too hard for us to notice due to having better vision??

We just got 5 new chickens (3 I think are roosters) a week ago. They all stay on their roosting bar almost all day and during the night. What should I do? I can’t remember how old they were, but decent size.. should start laying soon.. roosters haven’t started crowing. Outdoor access in progress

Roosting

My chickens don't particularly enjoy roosting at night. They will roost for a bit, but most just prefer to lay on the floor. We keep them locked in at night in their coop and open the coop door in the morning to their run. We have a heat lamp in there for them. Sometimes they roost, other times they don't. My husband is obsessed with making them roost at night. I know some breeds prefer to roost and others don't. I guess what I'm asking is it really that big of a deal?

Question: Shooting in Roosting Location

This is my first year solo hunting and I’m lucky enough to have a fairly large cattle pond on private land that is the roosting spot for both geese and ducks

Is it unethical/ill-advised to setup on the pond and shoot birds coming off the morning roost? I’ve heard that doing this will scare birds from roosting there the rest of the season. Is there any truth to that?

Follow up question: will shooting the roost also scare away future migratory birds from landing in the pond later in the season?

6 hens (9 mo old), no rooster. I've seen her pluck feathers while she's on the nest, but it's getting to be winter and I'm wondering if she needs a saddle? I've never seen the others bother her (she's mid totem pole), but maybe at night while roosting? Or she's just a weirdo like me! Thanks 😊
