Yes i've heard that chickens, even say if you get 4 this week & 4 next week, they won't get on at all, they'll fight and feathers will go flying!
I would have loved to have rescued some chickens from a cruel life but know of none in the Sunny South East.... maybe next time I'll be lucky to find some who would love an acre to roam free on, with pond to drink from!
Our two hens have already become celebrities in their own right, following anyone that calls to the shed, along with teaching children in a nearby Nai Scoil about chickens & where eggs come from. They are even getting used to being cuddled by the children.... and it seems to calm both down a treat!
