Any ideas from anybody would be great.
My daughter who is 15 and 6'2" is terrified of the chickens. We all think this is pretty funny, but she runs across the yard when they come to her as they think she has food. She wasn't as scared of the 6' brown snake in the yard as she is of the chickens...
When I had my chooks before the floods in 2013 my hen with chicks did the same thing to Black Catty. He barely even looks at the chooks now. It was hilarious.
Hi. Just barging into a conversation here. I have 2Jack Russell x foxys and they don't chase the chooks. My girls all free range every day. They will run through the girls and they think that is fun. Phantom (5) will chase them from the house when they venture inside or up the stairs. Mia...
Thanks for the info. Will go to produce store later and get chick feed and a waterer. Still only 1 baby so far. Although she is still sitting so maybe there is hope for 1 or 2 more. The other girls haven't bothered her so far at any stage of sitting. So hopefully this will stay that way...
Sorry to break into other conversations. Just had to let everybody know, I'm a chook nanna. 14 yo son went to feed chooks this morning and discovered the lorp thats sitting has hatched at least one chick. Maybe the roosters arent so bad. Will be interesting to see what it grows up like. Cross...

Hi Satay, do you know of anyone that wants a silkie rooster who lives closish by.I dont want my girls bashed up by any boys. The two boys have already started to have knuckles in the pen. I am giving one of them to a friend but dont know anybody else who wants the other one. If you could keep...
