    Beak scratching?

    My pullets do that when they're eating mostly. I believe they're just wiping their beaks off.

    A lot of folks dont think chickens have emotions...

    Quote: I've never heard that saying either...then again, I've lived in Cali my whole life.

    TxChiknRanchers: To feed your car envy

    CA is pretty strict on window tinting. A lot of shops around here won't do it very dark b/c they don't want to get cited. I had a limo tint on my previous car (which is almost as dark as you can get) and never got pulled over or cited for it, but I know a lot of people that have, so I guess I...

    TxChiknRanchers: To feed your car envy

    Just take off the license plate. I have never had a front plate on any of my cars as I think it makes a car look less sporty, imo. I live in CA (where the laws are pretty strict & stupid), and I've only been pulled over once for not having a front plate. The cop didn't give me a ticket or...

    Pine Straw

    I have never heard of pine straw. I use pine shavings, they keep the coop smelling fresher & cleaner than when I was just using hay.

    When will he crow?

    Quote: Probably not until he gets older/bigger than them. My cockerel is a lot smaller than my pullets, he's a few weeks younger than they are too. They like to pick on him as well, but I doubt it will continue once he grows.

    How did you come up with your screen name?

    Mine is kind of self-explanitory. I own chickens, and they like to poop...everywhere. My BF almost always steps in it when we go out to the coop (while I usually avoid it) and exclaims "Aghh! Chicken poop!"

    List Your Top 3 Mistakes............

    Quote: I have the same problem... They even come up to the screen door & chirp at me when they want a treat now. We're working on a fence so that they will only have half of the backyard to poop on.

    What to name them...............

    Naming my chickens was hard. Some names just came to me b/c of their personalities, and others went without names for weeks. I named the runt "Chicken Little" b/c she was she smallest, and I named my golden EE "Frida" b/c I thought her feathers were really pretty & reminded me of a Frida Kahlo...

    List Your Top 3 Mistakes............

    So far I don't have any real regrets, just a few things I would've done a little differently had I known better. 1. Getting chicks before we had proper waterers, feeders, brooder, coop, etc. (They were given to me as a b-day present by my BF. Best present & pets I've had thus far). 2. I...

    What kind of dog do you have?

    I have an 8 wk. old Pomeranian named Trinity. So far she's been very curious about our chickens, but I havn't allowed her outside w/ them yet. I'm afraid they may try to peck her or something. She loves to stand at the screen door & watch them when they come over to eat their treats.

    Well, here she is!!

    She's a beautiful hen! I'm so glad you saved her from certain death. I can't believe they were going to just throw her away like garbage! I'm beginning to think that a lot of feed stores don't know what they're talking about when it comes to breeds. My local feed store sold us a white EE as...
