How to Keep Chickens From being Bored

Date sort Score sort
My daughters love finding crickets in the yard for the chicks. The chicks live in a box in the spare room right niw since they are only a cpuple weeks old. The kids come screaming into the house with their bug and we take it and watch the chicks go at it. Its a fun treat :)

I still haven't gotten over the fact that we're actually discussing what to do to keep chickens from getting "bored". Had anyone told me 6 months ago that I'd be doing this, I'd have had myself committed. But, now that I have my girls, I've read every post with great interest.

To obtain chickens from local breeders, try www.chicken.meetup.com and look for your geographic area. They have classified listings for members who want to sell or buy chickens of all kinds. This might be his best bet.

There are also many online hatcheries that ship them via the mail, such as McMurray and MyPetChicken, to name just two. These charge for shipping and usually have a minimum order size.

My friends with large flocks on the farms are teasing me about what I'm doing for my six. Me who likes uncluttered counters now have sprouting trays and a mealworm container on mine and I'm actually touching the mealworms! I've done lost my mind.

I did get their swing up this evening, so I have to wait until tomorrow to see what they think of it.

I was pooper scooping their coop and they were fussing at me because they wanted to go to bed.
 
I picked up a few cartons of wax worms and meal worms today at Petco--------funniest thing ever watching the Chickie Darlings fight like mad over them during their free-range just before sunset. The pinnacle of the afternoon was when one of my super friendly Golden Comets, Sophia, hopped up on my knee to be fed every worm that came out of the cup! Spoiled chicken!
