I use a medium dog wire dog crate for my two when I'm not home. gives them a nice perch, room for food and water along with some movement. http://www.petco.com/product/13907/Midwest-Lifestages-Double-Door-Fold-and-Carry-Crates.aspx?CoreCat=LN_Shopping_DogSupplies_CarriersCratesandKennels I...

Quote: glad you were able to find her and bring her back safely! She's probably lonely out there by herself.

Quote: I bought mine from http://www.chickendiapers.com/ they work pretty good. I've had them for a few days now and my chics are getting used to them. I'll add pics when I can. Josanne, your curly looks like my fizzle LOL. My sister-n-law and my mother thing she looks like a buzzard. Poor...

Welcome to the group Excitedfor. Sorry to hear about your girls troubles but very glad she's going to be ok! I'm amazed at how much I actually enjoy having my two chics running around the house. Every time my mom is over and asks when they are going outside I get teary eyed at the thought...

Sorry to hear about your aunt. I hope she recovers ok. I'd love to see pictures of you stopping at rest stops with you and Lulu stretching your legs... Of the other people that is. That would be funny!! Have a safe trip!!

Welcome Andrea, Probably why I would never do well on a real farm. I wouldn't want any of my 'pets' to go off for food lol. As a child my mother brought in all types of wildlife that was hurt and needed saved. On the other hand my dad brought home all kinds of snakes, just for fun Now if I...

mylittlechickpea: Glad to hear the chic is back in the house . I'm still waiting for diapers to arrive. I figure it will take some time for them to get used to them; but also hoping since they are so young it will be easier! My biggest issue is the cecal poo as well. That stuff is nasty and...

Wow, thats a lot to deal with iluvcks. I'm praying for your chicies to get better soon! I ordered diapers for my two. Hopefully they will be here soon, all this clean up is driving me bonkers! Seems like the more I pickup the more there is LOL. My sis found a nice wooden shipping container...

Quote: LOL, mine eyed on for a few minutes tried to get it and decided it wasn't what she wanted and walked off Chics are so much fun to watch. Mine are so playful chasing and butting at each other. I hope they stay this playful when they grow into adulthood!

Don't forget curious and playful to the list. My two bantam Cochin keep me in stitches watching them run around chasing each other and checking out new stuff. They funniest thing is when I sneeze or my cell phone goes off. They run and slide across the hardwood back to their crate as fast as...

LOL, iluvcks, I'm glad you did add the drawing. There are so many different styles and that one looks less difficult to make myself. CJ, my grey never liked having a stand and the last one I had was a big tree branch. He prefers to crawl all over outside his own cage and down into the tray to...

Quote: Thanks for the info and quick response, I got caught up in finals and couldn't get back here. I never thought of just using a stand. I'd have thought they wouldn't stay up on one of those during the night. I know my grey jumps down off his stand and cruises the house if I'm not paying...

I have a question for all of you with house chickens. How do you house them? I have a very large dog crate that is wire and the pine gets all over the place and my house just isn't big enough for two large dog crates (I have one dog that goes nuts when I leave so she has to be crated when I...

Quote: I don't know Spook, looks to me like she fits in with the Heirloom's! She's looks very cute and comfortable there almost like part of the decor lol. Didn't people have porcelain chickens with their dish sets way back when?(i'm sure some still do). Mine don't sit still long enough...

Quote: Hehehe... Great idea though for keeping them all straight and remembering year born, which is always useful to know for the vet! Good luck catching one... maybe an extra special treat???

VelvetDragon, I know what you mean about African Grey's and dust. A few years ago I had someone clean my house. They came and asked me what all the weird white/grey dust was they found coating just about everything. I pointed to CJ my grey. He covers everything! I was thinking about getting an...

That's the most bazaar thing I've heard. Ok maybe not the most... but two front yards? So your not allowed to build a fence either?? I mean they can't expect people who live on corners never to have fences to keep their dogs in the yard or to be able to build a patio/deck/ bbq area? Basically...

Quote: My grey (my avatar) is 16 this year, guess it's time for a car lol. I got him when he was pins and skin, no feathers yet and still being hand fed. I had to be trained to hand feed him to take him home. He talks the the chics as they run past his cage and finds them fun to watch. I...

She's a real cutie! At the moment Fizzle, my black and white frizzle cochin, looks like her tail feathers could be her head. I'm hopping she doesn't grow fluffy head feathers or It's going to be harder to tell which end is up LOL. I'll try to get pictures later but my camera phone does not...

Hi Pinkisue, I have a bantom white something or other and a bantom frizzle. Both are becoming house chicks. They both have to be snuggled before they will go to bed but I've figured out a way around that, sort of. Just before I'm ready to put them to bed I wrap them up in a towel and set them...
