So I have an Appenzeller Spitzahauben named Madeline. She is a year and 2 weeks old and lives with 4 other sisters (differing breeds) since I got her as a day old. No rooster.
Madeline seems to be dabbling her little chickeny toe beans into the rooster pool. She has always had rather large...
Hello,
I am currently feeding Stratch and Peck grower feed and am in love with it. I feed OS and grit free choice and give regular (3-4x weekly) leafy greens in addition to scrambled eggs, mealworms, scratch, feather grower pellets and whatever makes its way into the treat bucket.

Evening everyone!
I had posted here before about my EE pullet, Esther. :
She had a traumatic injury to her right eye but with some TLC and advice from y'all, she was right as rain.

Welp. I'm feeling like a pretty good sized failure right now.
My lil 6 week old appenzeller spitzhauben, Madeline, was attacked by a hawk yesterday. Totally preventable if I had stayed with them while they were free ranging or if I had put them back in their very sturdy fully covered run. My...
Hello!
I am hoping this hasn't brought up too recently and I didn't miss it while perusing the other threads but I am in a bit of a quandary. The area where I have chosen to place my run (and the only feasible place) is dry on the surface. I have 8 foot long lumber i plan on sinking into the...
Hello hello! I am Bye.
Now you might already be thinking "why Bye?"
Simply put it messes with people's minds to say Hello Bye!! :lol:
That said, I am brand new to chicken ownership! My first batch of chicks ever arrived a week and half ago and I am proudly owned by 5 lil baby peeps.
Wait a...
