Llandry- love your daughter with the barred rock. My kids love our two also. They have made many a trip down the slide and even down the swirly slide once, lol. I can't imagine what people think when they see my kids lovingly manhandle our chickens.

Zac, I think you mean oyster shell. Grit helps the birds digest hard seeds and other foods - it has nothing to do with egg production. Let's not confuse the newbies.
Even though my run is dirt, I throw out a handful of grit here and there, because the different sizes of the stones is good to have in the crop. I keep oyster shell in a bowl at all times.
yea mrs mcgrath runs it and its the first monday of the month at ag buildingI am going to the store sometime this week to look at lamps. I just got worms for him today. So there is a Herp club? I wasn't sure if it was official or not. I don't know if I'm going to join though. I'm already in rabbit and now poultry, so I need to see how my busy schoolwork mixes with this. I wanted an iguana or monitor, but I don't have room and I wasn't allowed to keep a "dinosaur" in the house.
You just described my childhood!Njchix- my kids have brought them down the slide too! My daughter almost always has one in her arms when she's in the yard. She is obsessed with them. She has a serious case of chicken on the brain. Our christmas tree must have 20 ornaments on it that are either chickens or birds that she insists are chickens. Today was show n tell and she brought an assortment of feathers she found in their run.
And if it's not chicken, it's dragons or dinosaurs. The only reason she would ever want a doll is so she can takes its clothes off and put them on one of her dinosaurs. She's still a girly girl.
I wish we were closer, our daughters would be perfect together. Mine is 6 and is always dressed up like a fairy, chicken under 1 arm (usually her rooster), covered in dirt, and playing baseball with the boys.Really! She's a riot. She has a larger than life personality and her twin i can barely hear because he's so quiet. Her favorite outfit is a dress with jeans underneath and sneakers. She always has skinned knees. Beats up her brothers. Wrangles a chicken like there's no tomorrow. And ballet because she gets to wear a too-too. I call her my beastly princess. She is sooooo loud too but i love it. She is dying to dress the chickens up in something. Most little girls crawl around on the ground a pretend to be kitties. Not mine. She's a T-rex. Short tiny arms and all.
