Chicken Sido

Giovanni | Chicken

An animal lover contacted us. She told us about a rooster that was roaming around her neighborhood. As it is the middle of winter and there is a busy road in the immediate vicinity, the animal lover was worried that something worse could happen to the rooster. The Gut Aiderbichl team set off to take…

Angelica | Chicken

Angelica is a born Aiderbichler. Her mother managed to hide two eggs from our watchful eyes. One morning she proudly presented her offspring to us. Even though breeding our animals is not a priority for us - it is totally avoided - we are still delighted when we get a new addition to the family…

Teresa | Chicken

The guinea fowl is characterized by its typical body shape and color. Teresa is a classic example of this diurnal ground dweller. She came together with Hannes, a guinea fowl cock, to keep our Gerd company when he lost his partner. Since then, they have become a friendly group and have settled in well. Please…

Henriette | Chicken

An Aiderbichler woman turned to us in despair. There were two silkie cocks and a hen in her household. Despite all her attempts, she could neither keep the animals nor give them to good hands. With a heavy heart, she wrote us an email and asked us for help. Fortunately, we were able to agree…

Speedy | Chicken

Speedy's fate is repeated again and again. He didn't get along with the second rooster and so he had to leave. Now he lives at Gut Aiderbichl in Iffeldorf and it seems that he has found his peace here - all the best Speedy!

Pommes | Chicken

Rooster Pommes and other chickens were hatched and raised in a kindergarten as part of the farm animals project. The daughter of a kindergarten teacher was there from the first day the chickens hatched and was allowed to look after six chickens in a specially built chicken coop at home. At some point, it turned…

Terence Hill | Chicken

Animal lovers decided to keep chickens years ago. Again and again, there were young animals that could stay on the farm. But now there was a surplus of males, as there were sometimes roosters involved in the brooding. The animal lovers asked for help and introduced us to Terence Hill and Bud Spencer. Both are…

Tilda | Chicken

Tilda was turned out because she had served her time as a laying hen. Laying hens are turned out when they are just under one and a half years old, which means that they are slaughtered or, if they are lucky, can continue their lives elsewhere - even if they don't perform. Consumers decide on…

Carry | Chicken

Carry is one of 22 chickens that we were able to take in. An animal lover lived with ponies and chickens on a farm that she now has to leave. She asked us to take in her charges. We tried to find space and were able to take in all 22 of her chickens. The…

Harry | Chicken

Henry the cockerel hatched from the egg in an incubator. The rooster had to leave and was entrusted to the farmer's wife on a large farm. All seemed well until the neighbors in the area complained that Henry and his friend William started crowing at four in the morning. The cockerels had to leave to…

Klara | Chicken

Klara is a hybrid laying hen - The production of chicks from hybrid hens is almost exclusively carried out by large-scale industries.

He came from a large poultry farm and was now to be the cock of the walk for the chickens on the small farm. Everything went well at first, but unfortunately Wolfgang became increasingly aggressive…
