    They pick out the BOSS...and throw it on the ground

    Our chickens would not eat it at first. We bought a bag of straight BOSS and initially we sprinkled it on the ground like we do when we give them scratch for a treat. They ignored it! We found that if we dump it in 2 or 3 larger patches instead of sprinkling it around they would pick at it...

    Sleeping Issues w/7 yo Daughter

    > She simply says she can't turn her mind off. This happens to me fairly often, and one of the things that causes it is certain foods too close to bedtime. Have your daughter's favorite bedtime snack changed any time recently? I recently realized that eating chocolate mini-wheats cereal for...

    Chickens in Movies Database

    On Friends Joey and Chandler had The Chick and The Duck as pets for quite a while. There are chickens in Firefly episodes several times, can't remember which ones. There are chickens in MASH, too. The one I remember is in the final episode, when Hawkeye is talking about the lady on the bus with...

    We're so cute, but what ARE we? ***PICS***

    Angus was always a pill, even when his name was still Agnes! Which wasn't long, because he started looking like a rooster after only a few weeks. He was always rushing around the brooder and trying to boss the other chicks around. Here's a picture of Anna and Angus when they were chicks. I...

    We're so cute, but what ARE we? ***PICS***

    Our hen Anna is very sweet and friendly. She doesn't mind being picked up, and often flies up to the cross bar on the fence to visit when people visit the chicken coop. Angus, the rooster, has been an obnoxious little twerp since he was a chick. And he's aggressive, but since he's so small it...

    Hoot is definitely a Quail Antwerp Belgian Bantam. We got two out of the the bantam bin at the feedstore last year, and they looked just like that when they were little. Here's the breed page on Feathersite, with lots of pictures: http://www.feathersite.com/Poultry/CGP/Quail/BRKQuailBty.html...

    FS: Chicken saddles (wing protector) and goose, duck, chicken diapers

    We got our saddles over the weekend, and put them on the girls this morning. They're very well made, and easy to put on. Tess made a custom saddle for our Agatha, who has so many feathers picked out that she looks like a roast on legs. Here are Aggie's before and after shots, her saddle fits...

    Feedstore bantams - what breeds? (PICS)

    Buff Orpington 7+ Weeks old - Cockerel or Pullet? update post#23

    I don't know - not to get your hopes up, but here's our rooster Buddy when he was not quite 6 weeks old. Maybe he developed early, but he's way ahead of your neighbor's chicken! Here's hoping she's just a big boned gal... Mio

    4 Utah roosters need new home
