    New pics of Biddy..

    Biddy is very sweet and lovable. He's hopped in our laps on numerous occassions to be pet and to sit for a while. He used to give kisses when he was little, but now he bites pretty hard so we don't let him give kisses anymore lol.

    When will they grow out of their "baby voice" ?

    My chicken only clucks when we pick him up. Other than that, it's all peeps and he's two months old now.

    Had to shoot a dog - WARNING, GRAPHIC CONTENT!

    I agree that you have a right to protect your land and your livestock. On the rest of it, I can't really comment because I am not, and never have been, in a situation where I had to make that choice, but I have had to protect my chickens from wild animals and have shot at them. It seems to me...

    The loss of my first chicken...

    I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. I lost one of my babies last week. They were playing in the back yard and we went to check on them and my friend noticed a "big bird" (a hawk) sitting on the roof and she didn't think anything of it. Then she noticed the chickens weren't in the back yard...

    Spoiled rotten....

    I've been reading a lot through this forum and noticed a lot of people saying that chickens should be roosting and such....well my babies are almost a month old and I'm afraid I have spoiled them (even my fiance says I'm babying them). I gave them a baby blanket to sleep in so they'd have...

    No specific ordinance?

    I did some searching for my county/city for chickens and the only thing I found that could even pertain to chickens was: Sec. 14-12. Livestock No owner or custodian of livestock shall knowingly permit such livestock to run at large or stray upon any public roads of this county or on any...

    Packing on weight..

    My oldest chick is about 3 weeks and I'm not sure if it's a growth spurt or something else. Do chicks normally go through a growth spurt where they put on weight? He seems kinda heavy compaired to his 2 week old companion. Is it possible to overfeed chicks or do they just eat until they get...

    When will they grow out of their "baby voice" ?

    I love that little trill/purring noise too. First time I heard it I said "awwww...did you hear that" to my friend. It was too cute.

    Chicken "in your face" pictures!!

    What kind of chicken is the bottom one? Are his feathers supposed to look like that? I think its cute :) I got this picture when I took out my phone to snap one of Biddy. He looked at my phone like "what is that!?" and then pecked it several times.

    When will they grow out of their "baby voice" ?

    My babies are only about 3 weeks old and I love their chick peeps. I almost wish they'd keep them instead of the clucks.

    Chick Pics?

    No, he won't stay blue. His blue color is only on his down feathers. He was a dyed chick I bought for Easter. As his adult feathers come in, Biddy is turning more white. This is an updated pic I took today and he's turning more and more white :)

    Introducing snacks to the chicks

    My babies won't eat bugs. They stalk beetles outside but won't touch them. I've noticed my oldest eating small worms he finds in the dirt, but he found a caterpillar this morning and wouldn't touch it. Am I right in assuming if they clean their beak off by rubbing it on the ground or whatever is...

    baby poop question

    I have a 2wk old baby and a 1wk old baby and I've noticed that most of their poo seems solid unless they drink a lot of water. Then it becomes watery. I've been wondering the same....if it gets more solid over time or if it's the same all their lives.
