A hardware store clerk in Boise once asked me if my chickens had a favorite color.
He was serious, and said his Rhode Island Reds always chose the red feeder over the green one. Has anyone else noticed their birds showing a weird preference like that?

That's a funny story, but honestly it sounds like a coincidence. Chickens don't see color the way we do, and they're mostly driven by food. Maybe the red feeder was in a better spot, or the feed in it tasted different. My birds just go to whichever feeder is full, they don't seem to care about the color at all. Could it have been something else about the setup?
