    Amazing! Chickens like grape.

    Rescued Silkie

    Today the silkie looked much cleaner, so I assume it cleaned itself up pretty good. I trimmed back its feathers around its eyes, so it could see better. I'm absolutely in love. It is getting along just fine with my other chicks too.

    Simple PVC Feeder (PICS)

    Could you put another opening right above that so that two chickens could eat at a time? If not, do your chickens every fight over eating time? I have 16 chicks who all seem to eat at the same time (at a typical feeder), and I wouldn't want them fighting each other. (I'm a brand new chicken...
