Thank you for these ideas and the info. I would definitely prefer skipping more prep than I already have to do for dinner! The first time I did it, I used my blender and it ended up more like a puree. But the fact that leaving them whole is okay, gives me peace of mind. Thanks again!

Oooh! Good idea. Thank you!

Thank you!

I usually give our flock of four chickens produce scraps from our kitchen. I’m currently chopping collard greens to get a head start on Christmas dinner, and have been tediously trying to chop the stems into tiny pieces and I’m wondering if this is overkill. My question is, is there a certain...

Awesome! Thank you so much for this very informative response!

Hello. I trimmed sugar snap peas for dinner last night and after blanching in salted water, they were still really stringy and inedible (even though I spent 15 minutes removing stringy parts 🙄). Can I chop them up and give them to my chickens if they were cooked and shocked in salted water? I...

I’ll have to measure the actual clearance, but I think it’s 2 feet from the ground to the bottom floor of the coop. And the roost is 1-by. I think have a 2x3 (off the shelf and sanded, so it has rounded edges) that I can swap it out with. Thank you!

Thanks! I can work on these changes! And it’s 1/2” galvanized steel hardware cloth.

Thank you for all of this advice. I’ll put plastic up in the run in the next couple weeks. The roof has grooves across it and it’s not sealed on the edges. The coop is about 4 feet high sloping to 3 and a half feet or so. That first pic was taken before the chicken moved in. I’ve since leaned...

Awesome! Thank you!

Thank you!

Thanks! Great tips!

After realizing that getting a $500 coop from Wayfair might not be the best for my small flock, I spent that on lumber and built Ana White’s Small Modern Chicken Coop. I doubled the width so that my 4 chickens would have plenty of space and used hardware cloth that was extended into a skirt that...

Big thank you to @MysteryChicken for helping me ID my amberlink pullet (who was originally sold to me as an Austrolorpe pullet). Figured I should confirm the other three, now that they are looking more like hens than chicks! Can you guys help out a n00b? TIA! Just for reference, Tractor Supply...

Hello! I posted pics of my chicks a while ago. There was one, my white one, that got some mixed answers…even on gender. Now that she’s (he’s?) bigger, I wanted to check back in. It’s also starting to get a bit of brown on parts of its feathers. This new coloration just appeared within the last...

Thank you! I'm hoping it's a white rock! Also: Happy Birthday!

Thank you! The one in the first photo attached here is supposed to be the Orpington. And the white one is about the same size as my barred rock, slightly larger than the EE. Not the best pic, but here's one of the rock being in the way while I'm trying to clean their bedding and the white one...

Thank you!

The pics of the white chick are of the same bird. I had the thought the other day that the white one looks like my Barred Rock. Thank you got this info!

Hello. I got four chicks about three weeks ago. I think they were probably close to about a week old or slightly younger. I got them from Tractor Supply. I kind of scrambled to select them because I had my baby with me and was in a bit of a rush. I got an extremely cute little yellow one is...
