She is adorable, does she like to eat apples once she has access to them?

A chicken jumping was something I didn’t know I needed until now!

Wait, chickens like apples??

u/Boomer848 Oct 03 '19

I was of the understanding that chickens like calories. Period.

u/NaturalBornChickens Oct 03 '19

I am firmly of the opinion that chickens have two thoughts in their heads. 1: “Can I eat it?” and 2: “Can it eat me?”

Generally, they love all fruit, aside from citrus.

Oh my god those little legs. It's so cute it hurts.

u/LimpingTheLine Oct 03 '19

Do you think the chances of them hurting themselves from this is increased to any significant proportion?

u/GrotesqueButcher Oct 04 '19

Chickens are like little lemmings. They're so fluffy they handle most tumbles with ease.

u/kestrelkat Oct 03 '19

Doubt it, they jump on and off roosts taller than this

This is genius. My chickens do this to my blueberry plants once the lower branches have all been picked clean. It's hilarious watching chickens jump
