So my husband has this idea for our run and I wanted to know of anyone has tried it. He wants to put an herb planter on top of the run to give the girls partial shade and protection while having a place to grow our basil and such. anyone tried this ?
So the other day when I was purchasing my chicks, I had someone tell me that chickens are a gateway livestock, basically that once you start with chickens it basically turns into a full blown farm within a couple year. Does anyone think this is true?
After being asked repeatedly by our three year old daughter, we finally went and got 6 chicks: 2 black stars, 1 red start, 1 Delaware, 1 rhode island red and 1 barred rock. Having raised chickens growing up, both my husband and I feel confident about teaching our daughter but it still makes me...
