How Chickens See the World (Its CRAZIER Than You Think)

Video Description

Ever wondered what your chickens actually see when they look at you? Spoiler alert: it’s not just your feed bucket. In this episode, we take a casual but fascinating dive into the science of chicken vision—and trust me, there’s more to a chicken eye than what meets the eye. We talk about: Why chickens see more colors than humans, including ultraviolet light How their double-cone photoreceptors make them hypersensitive to movement Why your laundry detergent might make you glow like a disco ball to your flock What’s really going on with that dramatic head-bobbing behavior Why chickens are nearly blind at night, and how artificial lighting affects them How they use UV vision to recognize individual flock members And yes, why they freak out when you walk in with a net We also talk about chicken feeders, color theory, and why red might be the secret to grabbing their attention. Plus, a shoutout to GrubTerra’s black soldier fly larvae—high in protein, calcium, and chicken-approved. Whether you’re a seasoned homesteader or just chicken-curious, this video will change the way you see your flock… ********************************************************************************* GrubTerra Black Soldier Fly Larvae: Link: https://www.grubterra.com/GIBSONBRANCH20 20% Off Discount Code: GIBSONBRANCH20 ********************************************************************************* Thanks for watching!
