    New chicken mom need feed suggestion

    I am currently giving my hens Layena but they don't seem to like it and aren't really eating very much at all. I was wondering if anyone had other suggestions for feed. I live in St. Peterburg Florida so am a little limited in my selection of feed stores.

    Do people look at you weird when you say you have pet chickens?

    I just got my first chicken last week and will be getting another this weekend. I do have one friend who is completely astonished and floored that my husband and I have adopted a chicken. He just can't get over how weird it is. I say, "Are you kidding?! Backyard chickens are the fastest growing...

    So I found this chicken...

    Quote: Yup, that's what she looks like. Although her "ears" or is it "muff" sticks out more. We did find the owner on Friday but lucky for me they didn't want her back. They said she was a chick their son had brought home around Easter time and he quickly lost interest. I guess that makes her...

    Since I can't post a pic I will try to describe her. She is a large chicken and her coloring is best described as brindled, light brown and black. She has feathers that stick up around the sides of her face. She has a dark beak and feet. I used to rehab birds so I know how to assess body...

    Seriously, my neighbor found a chicken wandering at a nearby park. The poor thing is now in a nice big cage in my backyard. I used to raise and release orphaned birds and squirrels so had this nice cage in my backyard. I had contemplated getting chickens because I love fresh eggs but didn't plan...
