I absolutely hate hawks! They fly around my house a lot and scare my hens. Some people put up scarecrows, but I'm not sure if that actually helps. If hawks keep invading your yard, I would buy a large run (With a top, of course!) for your chickens to go in during the day while you're at...
I just spent a month up in michigan and I left my chickens at home. We just made it home today! I want to surprise them with a good treat. Do you guys have any good treat ideas for me?

Hope this helps!
Hen Show!

Contest ends...

So tomorrow I plan to make my chickens some egg-free pancakes and let them free-range all by themselves. That means I won't be out there. The problem is that there's a lot of big birds flying around my neighborhood and I...
