...the best ever friend of mine will always be a chicken called tito,he was a proud light sussex cockerel,had bred him in an incubator and he grew up in bedroom,he was like a baby to self,he was only three years old when last year he and three other hand reared birds of mine was kidnapped from the last residential home was at,am still greatly affected by it and think about him every day.
animals reduce a lot of challenging behaviors of mine when around them, they are great autism therapy.
I have read that chickens can be very intelligent and loyal. It is too bad that someone took them from you.
thanks aspieutah,much apreciated! the police thought it was the local gypsy community just down the road from us that stole them but said they coudnt risk checking them out on an assumption,beloved pet autism therapy chickens meant nothing to them, the press woudnt get involved because no one saw it happen which is ridiculous-the scumbags came in and smashed the coops up at night when no one saw them-a load of chickens protected by loyal cockerels will not sit around quietly when something like that happens,have always held the residential home partly responsible as they left the gate open to the grounds,plus they said they didnt hear anything when the coops were being smashed up and cut open with bolt cutters.
totaly agreed-the whole 'bird brained' stereotype is very wrong and unfair on them,they just have a different type of inteligence.
tito was the most generous cockerel had ever known, he used to let all the females eat before him and even from birth was never pecked by him once,nor saw any agression from him towards humans apart from when a horrible support staff once picked him up by the wings and he bit back,the then two year old niece of mine used to hold him,thats how calm he was.
