He wakes us all up at about 6 a.m. in the morning and the flock of chickens starts to chuckle and cleans their feather dress. Afterwards, the flock flutters or wags down from the chicken bar to eat organic barley grains and water. Heinale begins to jump the chickens, which gives a gaggle and a slight excitement in the stable. The fertilized eggs last longer. The chickens now move to their nests and lay an egg. On the ears of the chicken one can predict the egg color (white ears- white eggs, brown ears- brown eggs). In the morning, they all wade together to the open meadow or to the compost heaps, where they pick up worms, insects, beetles, grass and sometimes even small mice. On the pastures & meadows are engerlings (worms) plagues and we are glad that the chickens eat them as they are natural enemies When they have finished eating, they prefer to take a sand bath in the sun to clean their feather dress. At the barn time (milking time 5.00 o'clock in the afternoon) they all come back to the barn by themselves, eat a few grains, drink water and then sit down on the chicken bar again. The stable is a perfect protection against fox and marten.

In the meantime, the two Mongolian silk cocks Marco Polo and Chinngis Khan have also joined.

They have blue ears and a vokuhila. They also have an incredibly soft feather dress. They are allowed to climb on my hand every day and are then rewarded with grains. Their beak is a bit sharper than that of old Styrian chickens, so it sometimes hurts a bit when they pick out of my hand. Chickens visualize each grain before they take it. Therefore, they should be fed the grains as a whole and not scraped. They do it easier to pick up and don't have to pick up that often. When there is a bit of turmoil at night, Chinngis Khan and Marko Polo begin to crow and draw our attention. We then darken all the rooms again so that they calm down.
