I'm quite sure they have intelligence & personality, but as with most farm animals, one doesn't ordinarily get too chummy. It's a pity, just like with snakes,
there are so many fascinating creatures that humans typically de-value.
Yes I agree that humans devalue them. Although her chicken is not the smartest, she's lovable and has learned to trust. And even though I told my daughter not to get attached, because we were going to sell her at the county fair, *I'm* getting attached. She currently lives in the greenhouse at school, but I am thinking when school lets out for the summer we may have to build a coop and keep her (along with a friend for company).
Re: Giant Brahma chickens
When I first bought my house in 2011, one of the neighbors had chickens. The rooster was the biggest I had ever seen...and I had family that raised chickens and guineas for eggs and meat. I don’t have a clue what variety he was, but he towered over the hens...and they were also pretty large.
Re: Giant Brahma chickens
My dad has some. He has kept various types of chickens over the years. Mostly exotic or rare breeds. They can be as loyal as dogs if they are raised that way. Much like goats and pigs.
