Question

Do chickens like a mirror in their coop?

Answer 1

no they dont .but u can always put a bit of toys out.but they r not intelligent so that would definitely confuse them.

Answer 2

it is not good to put a mirror in a coop because they will get to used to there reflection and not themselves

Answer 3

chickens arnt very bright birds at all, so i think it might confuse them...

Answer 4

You could put mirrors in the coop, but I don't think they would really notice.  Chickens have other chickens to play with.  Mirrors are usually for smaller pet birds that have a higher intelligence (not that chickens are as stupid as people seem to think).  Chickens prefer the company of other chickens, and perches.  If you want to amuse your chickens, put a bunch of perches in the coop.

Answer 5

Not only will I say No but I will say h**l  NO! !! ! ! !

Chickens looking into a mirror will not recognize the chicken in the mirror as being themselves,they will see it as another chicken and the pecking order will begin. Everytime that a chicken sees themselves they will peck that mirror.  Enough pecking could break the mirror and make it a dangerous issue.

Answer 6

If they have other chickens I don't think they need one. Ducks like them though (when they are on their own).
