    Should I evict?

    I thought the same thing as well. The big girls did bully them around quite a bit. That is changing though and one of the littles is quickly moving up the pecking order ranks. I was thinking of recreating a box for them but think instead I make make them some kind of chicken jungle gym. That...

    Are chickens natural relaxers, or is it just me? Lol

    That is funny! I have one who earned her name "Rebel in a Red Dress". Even as a chick she would take the opportunity to escape the brooder to look around. I have chased her around the garage, the back yard and the run! Tonight I was giving them treats before bed and the littles (10 weeks...

    I love my chickens so much! I spend quite a bit of timw with them. They just make me.happy! People actually make fun of me for my love of my chickens. I have never seen those feed sack beds before. I may have to make one for my girls.

That is quite the experiment honestly. We will see if it actually works. If not we cover up that hole, cut one in the...
