Question

How can I open my chicken's beak?

Amy Harrison

Top Answerer

You can try to get your finger inside, but avoid prying the beak open as it's highly uncomfortable for the chicken.

Question

Why would I do this?

Community Answer

There are health reasons. You could do this if you needed to clip a rooster's spurs or check for parasites or other conditions.

Question

How would I grab the chicken before placing it on the surface?

Community Answer

Become familiar with the chicken first by talking to it and stroking its neck - that way it will be more comfortable coming to you. You could also try trapping it or sneaking up on it.

Question

Is a chicken healthy if it has no feathers on some parts of his body?

Community Answer

If it is missing spots of feathers, it is probably just molting. Signs of molting can also be lack of movement and sleepiness.

Is it normal for chickens to faint when stressed?

No, I would take your chicken to an avian vet to find out the cause of the fainting.

I have a dutch bantam and his crow is super loud for a small chicken. Should I be concerned?

No. The small ones will always have the biggest crow. That is fine for him, and there is no need to be concerned.

Question

Will they be under my control once hypnotized?

Animal10

Community Answer

No. It just lays there. This is used to calm it down. There are not a lot of ways to contol a chicken.

Question

My chickens are not becoming hypnotized. After I do as told, the chicken jumps up and walks away. Am I doing something wrong?

Community Answer

Some of these methods are more difficult, but one way I hypnotize my chickens is by cradling them on their backs in the center of my legs while petting right under their eyes. This generally hypnotizes them right to sleep.

Question

Why can’t chickens fly?

Amy Harrison

Top Answerer

Chickens can fly, but due to their large body mass, they cannot fly large distances. Chickens can easily fly to a height of 10 feet and span distances of 40 or 50 feet.

Can chickens get a peanut allergy?

They cannot. Peanuts can be fed sparingly to chickens. However, avoid commercial peanuts that are heavily salted. Too much salt can be bad for your chickens.

Question

Can you make a chicken go to sleep?

Lovenhoven

Community Answer

Yes, but it can cause a lot of harm. Some hold it upside down and some hold it on its back. Do not do any of these! The safest way is to put its head under its wing and then rock it.
