I feed them hen house reserve, have oyster shells in the coop along with pecking block. I give them scratch once a week for fun, and they eat oats out of my hand once a week...what else should I do?
My friend raises chickens and she pyurchased eggs from an auction in April. They were not a specific breed but a mixture. There were some pricey pullets that came out of it.
I am full of questions today. Are these birds rare? I just realized after researching, I have one? It looks like I cut off her butt in the pic, but I did not.
I have a friend who raises chickens and swears if you pick up a chicken and the feet, don't both raise up that it's a rooster. But, if you pick up a chicken and one leg goes up, and the other 1 stays straight, it's a hen, is there any truth to this?
UGH! He is so friendly...hard to imagine he is going to change his disposition soon....Guess I will be re-homing him to my friend. I am going to do this as soon as I start seeing signs of dominance or changes in personality. Right now he jumps on my shoulder and loves to be scratched on his...
