G’day I am new to this group.
And I’m really looking forward to learning more about chickens I grew up on a chicken farm in Canada but don’t remember a great deal about them - and then moved to Australia 🇦🇺 18 years ago.
A few months ago I bought two Australops Meet Jazzy and Chiilli

Hey all,
Having problems with bored chickens in the winter picking on each other? I know I do!:barnieMy ladies seem to think it's so much fun to pull feathers out of each others neck and run around with it in their beak. They play a game, the goal is to get as many feathers and then run from...
Has anyone here had experience with putting a sweater on your chicken to keep them warm from molting or to cover up feather loss from an aggressive hen while the feathers grow back in? I am considering doing this as the more aggressive chickens see the bare skin and peck at the ones trying to...

I have a few questions for you all: Do you give toys to your chickens? If so, what kind? Which is your flock's favorite toy? I want lots of suggestions so my (and hopefully other's) flock will be happy and stimulated!
I'm looking to prepare for the winter. What are some good AFFORDABLE heated waterers from my hens? I have one coop with 9, and one who lives in her own coop.
Also, is a regular incandescent light bulb okay for winter heat and laying?
Should I use an sort of insulation or tarps (to prevent wind...
Does anybody have a chicken leash? How do you like it? How long did it take you to train them to use it?
I know training takes a while and some chickens will simply never like it, but if anyone has chickens that have ended up liking them, please let me know all the details! I've been thinking...
Hello. I'm looking to getting (building) a chicken coop for 6-10 hens. Open to all advice on which type of hens for best eggs & least amount of noise that are sociable. Also what size of indoor coop & outside run will I need. Best material to use to keep rodents & predators out!
Thanks! So...
So I've poured over all of BYC's forum categories looking for the right place to even ask my question. I've ended up here hoping one of you gurus can help me out.
I sell garments on Etsy. Aprons also. And I know how much chicken owners would love an apron to keep their clothes clean while...
