    I kan haz brayne damidge?

    Great Chook has possessed my soul and I am now but his minion. I may be moving across country in the late autumn, and one of my top priorities in looking for a home is "Will I be allowed to have chickens, and how many on that size land."

    When to introduce the peeps? It wasn't up to me!

    Regarding the rooster possibility, I have since observed some of the hens starting to be unpleasant to the chicks. The rooster and the other cock will intervene.

    Burrowing instead of roosting??

    I have 10-month old Brahmas. I have roosts. They still burrow. Some chickens really get into the whole "ground nesting" thing, I guess.

    When to introduce the peeps? It wasn't up to me!

    As some of you already know, I decided to do use the stingy and lazy way to increase my flock. I've got a rooster. I've got some hens. They're all Brahmas.

    Accidentally discovered a solution for the digging along the edge issue...

    A have had an issue with Chicken Run 2.0. It has proved secure from external invaders but not from the very birds it is meant to protect. Specifically, the chickens dig under the edge.
