Joedie; Thanks so much for the helpful advice! My dad and I went to pick up our new flock member today, she's a gorgeous Delaware hen with a very sweet personality since this is my chicken, I got to pick out which hen out of 40 hens would be the lucky winner and come home with us. As for...

No stories?

Ahahaha, trust me, you're not the only one hooked on green eggs & ham! Got my chickens just last week, and am now waiting for the first egg, hopefully soon !

Hello Suzie! !!! I'm also new, but so far, I've been obsessed with this forum

I fed my chickens some quaker oats today, I fed it out of my hand, one of the hens was pecking my hand like crazy just trying to eat the oats.. next time I'll just throw it on the ground as scratch or just mix it in with their regular feed My dad witnessed me jumping up in pain, and turning...
