I replied to you earlier but I’m not seeing it. Thank you for your advice. I will definitely take all of this into consideration for sure. Thank you! 😊
Thank you! I’ll have to try that. These girls are growing much faster than my others did. They’re already flying out and perching on the edge of the brooder.

Thank you! I move very slowly around them because sudden movements make them flip out. I guess because my other babies were the way they were I was expecting these to do the same as quickly as the others did. The last thing I want is to have girls that never trust me. I love all of them WAY more...

Thank you. I haven’t given up. I’m still giving them the same things and more. And they do get out to forage, but they eat the Annual Blue Grass mainly.
So….I’m wondering what is going on with my babies? I hear everyone talk about their chickens love to eat anything and everything. So I’m excited! I get all kinds of stuff to plant etc. They will NOT eat sage, arugula, dandelion, peppermint, sunflower seeds, bananas, raspberries, blueberries...
Hello 👋🏼 I have 4 Bantam babies. They’re almost 2 months old. They love being outside but they want to be out of their run. I’m ready for them to be so they can enjoy it, but they fly really well. I really don’t want to clip their wings because they’re so beautiful and they fly up to roost. Is...
