Yep, that's what I said. Once chickens learn that the coop is home and is safe to return to- they will return every evening. But there are just some chickens who are "independent" and like to roost in trees and even some man-made structures. Even with feed and a great coop, some birds just want...

Lester is a White Silkie Bantam and is the sweetest chicken around, she is patient and gentle and has never hurt any other chicken. She always follows me around begging for treats. She is spoiled rotton. During the afternoon and in the evening she likes to take a nap in my lap. We thought she...

My first flock of chickens came from some friends of ours a few years ago. Their names were Bobby Joe, Vickie Lynn, Goob, Lou, Jewel, and Rose. Rose, Bobby Joe, Vickie Lynn, and Goob have passed on since then. I miss them all a lot. Here are some pictures of them: This is Goob, our former red...

This is Penny my Rhode Island Red, although she looks sweet- believe me. She is a trouble maker! She is constantly sneaking on the back porch and and when she gets scared she's loud! You should see her when she loses track of the other chickens- she loses it! She starts clucking and bawking like...
