    This chicken is not dead

    She’s a cutie pie, but if she doesn’t stop picking Mr P’s head feathers she’s gonna be in trouble! Should have called her Lucy (of I Love Lucy).

    Shadrach's Ex Battery and Rescued chickens thread.

    Sorry I do lurk - but had to comment that wet hands on metal barn door handles is not a smart move (ouch)! I try not to have anything metal in the barn where chooks can sit - except my push lawn mower…… they insist upon sitting on that metal handle! A towel solved the cold feet (and poopy...

    Holy Dinah! Mother Nature has gone off the rails! That’s just ridiculous, it’s the same here, and now the Great Lakes have started freezing over their warming effect is diminished, that arctic air just flows straight south. I am exhausted dealing with snow and cold.
