    Training to use a treadle feeder

    Yes, the whole thing is shiny metal. They seem to understand the "step = unlimited food" but the motion seems to scare them 🥲 I'll try the artificial grass though. Thank you!

    Backyard Brahmas!!

    My partner has wanted Brahmas and I finally found a breeder near me who has some chicks. What is the best way to make your brahmas super friendly and how do you tell between male/female as six weeks old chicks?

    Yeah, my fiance is. He is visiting his family and is currently cut off. We're not sure how he is going to get out.. A lot of my friends and family are too. Thank you! I decided to go with the XE17 by Laucke Mills. They seem to enjoy it.

    Hello! Happy to see such a huge thread of fellow chicken and poultry-crazy Aussies :celebrate I was wondering what you all think is the best feed for free range laying hens? I think I need a new feed because my girls are just picking at the best bits (sunflower seeds) and leaving the pellets...

    Hello!

    Hi there! I'm so happy to finally join instead of lurking. Let me answer some of those boring questions. (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? I've had chickens my whole life. I decided to get chickens as an adult when I was 27. (2) How many chickens do you have right...
