7 Things Your Chickens Are Begging You to Stop Doing

7 Things Your Chickens Are Begging You to Stop Doing Your chickens are talking to you right now, and most keepers have no idea what they’re saying. Scientists have actually decoded chicken alarm calls, proving hens use specific signals depending on whether danger is coming from the air or the ground. So if your flock has a language… what have they been trying to tell you? In this video, we count down 7 things you’re probably doing right now without realising it – thingsthat are quietly stressing your flock, crashing your egg production, and, in some cases, putting your birds’ lives at risk. Every single one is backed by peer-reviewed poultry science, and a few of them will genuinely shock you. Here’s a taste of what’s coming: There’s a color you might be wearing right now that your flock reads as a threat One daily habit, sitting right in your coop, that researchers call “the most damaging parasite of laying hens worldwide” A mistake almost every keeper makes when picking up their birds is it triggering their deepest predator instinct And the #1 hidden killer sitting in your coop air right now that you can’t even smell anymore – one study found it can wipe out up to 100% of a flock If you keep chickens, whether it’s 3 hens in a backyard run or a bigger flock, you need to see this before your next egg drop or, worse, before you lose a bird and don’t know why. Real science. Practical fixes. No fluff. That’s what Livestock Labs is all about. Watch till the end; #1 is the one most keepers never see coming.
