    Thank you! We love the chairs to sit on while we are all out there haha, Surprisingly the chickens don't poop on them so that's nice. We had some friends and family over a couple weekends ago and everyone wanted to sit down on the chairs and visit with the girls!

    Thank you! Always looking for ways to improve it and make it more entertaining for them, especially because they can't free range in my area! We have daytime coyotes and loose dogs which are the worst. My aunt who lives a property down had to stop free ranging because even within a fenced area...

    Here’s some photos of their chicken yard! We started with a 25’x25’ run when we first moved in last spring, and this spring I added on another 33’, making the run 25’x58’ in total! The smaller section has a 1’x1’ wire “roof” and the bigger section has heavy duty bird netting. I want to...

    Thank you!! I wanted to separate Millie and the babies in their own area while also being able to interact with the flock. I didn’t want any accidental broken eggs or hurt chicks, especially since these eggs were purchased and came all the way from Oklahoma!

    The Ameraucana babies are doing so well, they’re 2 weeks old today! Right now I feel like 2 are males just due to the comb! Of course it’s wayyy too early to be sure but it’s just fun to play the guessing game in the mean time! Millie is a fantastic mom, especially for it being her first time!

    I thought I’d finally start my own flock thread! I’ll start off with a little about me! I got my first chickens when I was 18, wanted only 2, read you should have 3, got 4. I wanted chickens because I am really into gardening and I loved that they eat garden pests, eat garden waste, turn all of...
