    Chicken Laying song

    Here is a video of Hannah singing for another chicken. I recently lost her and Rosie a.k.a. pasty butt because my neighbor's plumber brought his dog and let it play outside while he worked. It was just a puppy.

    What would do this to chickens?

    My chickens free range most of the day. Today they were still in the pen but there was a dog running around that I shooed away. I went to shoo it again and saw my leghorn running to the house. I brought the leghorn back to the pen to discover the gate was open and all the birds were gone and...

    bleeding from vent

    One of my birds has a very obvious red featherless butt. I read on this site to check for parasites (ie lice, mites, ticks) and/or feather picking. I'm not 100% sure yet what my birds have. There is one bird so far that doesn't seem to be effected. She was fighting with the worst effected bird...

    Funny Chicken Stories

    I have plenty of funny chicken stories but as silly as they are, I have done my fair share of silliness. I was collecting eggs and put a few in my pockets. I put the eggs in the fridge ,took off my coat and put the coat hanging off the table. I usually have odd things like nails, drill bits...

    Whats a favourite food for chickens and what not to feed!?Newbie here!

    My chickens love peanuts even more than sunflower seeds for a treat. I also make oatmeal for them and sometimes give them non fat greek yogurt. It's funny to see them get the oatmeal of the yogurt all over themselves. My birds also jump up to get a half of a peanut. They are too spoiled and...

    You don't need a license for a shogun or rifle. Even so, I've applied for one back in February or March. It's quick and easy to get a gun license.. ya think?
