Answers to the questions
What’s on a chicken’s mind? They have a lot on their minds. They have hairdos to consider, plans to hatch, ground to scritch up (treasures), and that whole pecking order thing to worry about...
Does chicken love other animals? No. Other animals are not on their radar because other animals do not have fine feathers and nice legs.
When does a chicken want to be alone, when do they like to be with other ch.? This is a hard question. It's like asking the people in a clique whether they like to be in the clique. Chickens need other chickens to reaffirm themselves, and if you asked them, they would say they like being with other chickens all the time, but secretly each wouldn't mind being the only chicken.
Could there be a space, or architecture where a chicken is proud at? Yes. There should be an outdoor standing and posing space where nice photographs recording the dignity of the chicken could be taken, preferably with a majestic background and strong lighting.
Do chickens see colour? Yes.
When chickens don’t think can you make a story what a chicken should think in your case? I don't understand this question and how it's different from number one.
Are there upper-chickens and downunder-chickens? Could that be an inspiration for making space and chacks? Yes. There are hierarchies too complex for us to understand that have to do with chicken markings, egg color, egg size, and ability to dance. Chickens should be segregated according to class, just like Boulder.
How could the backyardplot be integrated with the chickenchackvill? The backyard could function as landscape decoration to complement the shacks, it could be part of a backyard closed cycle that mimics a larger factory cycle--meaning that the manure is a bi-product just as eggs are a bi-product, it could function as a staging area, or it could be part of a large environmental lesson about sustainability of which the chickens are a part as well.
Could any material be part of the Vill? I think chickens want something a little bit fancy, something that shows we understand their dignity. As long as the materials aren't used in such a way that demeans them, anything is fine.
Do chicken like to be downstairs or upstairs, do they want to chance? They prefer to be upstairs. Do they want to change?? Is that the question? Yes, they want options. They need places for scouting, for posing, for making plans, for eating, and for sleeping in a commune.

Fabulous.
ReplyDeleteWhat’s on a chicken’s mind?
ReplyDeleteBesides food, laying eggs, dodging predators they might think about the weather hoping for some sunshine, perhaps wondering where are all the roosters, what happened to my egg. Factory chickens might not have the chance to think, perhaps they feel like junkies. maybe they wonder how the world got so small or maybe they are concerned about the chicken population and ways to control it.
Does chicken love other animals?
I think so, nice animals like cows.
When does a chicken want to be alone, when do they like to be with other ch.?
I think a chicken might want to be alone when laying an egg, laying an egg seems very uncomfortable. they like to gather to sleep in order to stay warm, and socialize outside, showing out their feathers and sexy struts.
Could there be a space, or architecture where a chicken is proud at?
I think so..... maybe a fancy roost and a fancy chicken ladder or escalator.
Do chickens see color?
yes, thats how they attract each other, red and spotted feathers are hot this season
When chickens don’t think can you make a story what a chicken should think in your case?
sure.....to be continued.
Are there upper-chickens and downunder-chickens? Could that be an inspiration for making space and chacks?
egg laying bins should be about 16 in from the ground and the roost (where they sleep) should be up high
How could the backyardplot be integrated with the chickenchackvill?
in the village maybe the runs can be like a passage to the next shack or be used in a way to help the structure stay more secure.
Could any material be part of the Vill?
yes as long as it can be treated as a way to protect the chickens
Do chicken like to be downstairs or upstairs, do they want to chance?
they want options, without options life is boring even for a chicken
what you said.
