We separated this chicken from a new batch when we got it just because it was smaller and getting picked on. It's stayed inside and honestly hasn't grown much since, other than getting fatter. So we've dubbed it our pet and bought it a new cage, the one featured in this post for 300 pesos. I'm not sure of sex and we also honestly don't have a name for it yet, so if anything strikes you, let me know.
Because of it's small stature, we put some sticks in to help it step up to that ring if it wants to or just to roost in general. All day it avoided going up but as I write this it's roosted up on a stick sleeping happily, having messed the bottom quite nicely.
We put it in it's new house, which we'll eventually paint black and yellow and it was very happy, strutting around and knocking some food on the clean floor to peck up with excited chirps. Lots more room to move around in general and protected from the elements, this chicken has it made. I hope it's a she and that I get some tiny little eggs. And it'd be cool if she'd sit on some quail eggs...I haven't flipped it over and checked it's vent, that's just not what you do to new friends.
So far I've been calling it Meep, after the noises it makes all day. It's a noisy little chicken, chirping when happy, sad and hungry. If you talk to it it chirps more and it's a fan of being pet by me. Tomorrow, it gets scraps from the kitchen.
