    My Chicken family is down to 2 girls (4-5years) is it okay to just keep 2 chickens?

    Hi Fellow BYC Clan! I have had the same girls for 4 year, started off with 6 (Bantams), but now we are down to 2 :(. I am in two minds to get more chickens and am hoping you guys can aid in my decision 1. Would they be okay as just a pair or do they need to be in a larger group? (for social...

    Reunited

    We have two Bantam leghorns one recently took a "vacation" and wandered off thankfully a neighbor found her and looked after her. She was missing for about a week. Now we brought her back home and her and her coop-mate are not happy to see one another. Suggestions?
