I have an Avocado tree in my backyard, and my chickens have been eating the ones that fall to the ground for years! They love them! They actually fight the Squirrels for them!
I can't believe people can be so much against nature! I think it is great to have such beautiful birds running wild.

Few weeks ago a a State Farm agent came to our house to give us a quote on homeowners insurance and she was absolutely facinated with my chikens (coop included). There was no mention of having to remove our chickens or the coop! We got the quote and everything is fine.

How many little chickens do you have in your yard ?
I have 4 hens. 2 orpingtons, 1 barred rock and 1 leghorn. It will be a year next month since I became a chicken addict and I'm loving it!
Don't be alarmed! One of my hens went through this a while back. For about a week she layed soft eggs, and at times she looked pretty bad. I gave a lot of crushed oyster shells for calcium and kept her vent area clean. Within a week she got better and starded laying nice hard shelled eggs.
