Are some broods of chicks just more aggressive than others?

But Isla (my special one) got her head stuck in a tiger melon today. It lasted seconds... wish aI got it on video!

OMG, that's hysterical. I wish you had a video to share!

Make the day a little more interesting than just waiting for the next scoop of feed.

Even something small, like today was the first day the girls had their feeder suspended, and the challenge of having to follow the moving food ports has made their crumble 10x more interesting!

That's very cool that you have a parrot background. Are the RIRs your first chickens? I'm also curious if you plan to free range?

I've treated plenty of chickens in clinics and for special clients, but these are my very first feathered freeloaders of my own. Sure, they’ve got acres of beachfront jungle to roam—true island-style free ranging—but they still prefer hanging around the coop all day, watching me make endless tweaks (HGTV renovation we are calling it).

They're my 'not-so-helpful helpers,' supervising every nail and screw. At night, they get carried into the utility room like VIPs, because the coop still needs a few comfort upgrades (My hubby cant understand my logic- but it makes sense in my bird-brain)—to meet their standards and mine. We're getting there... one step at a time.
