Ground cover ideas?
We just moved into a new house and the yard needs a lot of work. We want to replace the grass (actually just weeds at this point). What are some chicken safe/beneficial ground covers that are also good for pollinators? We were thinking about white clover? Has anyone had experience with that?- HensInHouston

My chicks gave me a heart attack!
I got home yesterday, checked on the chicks, and noticed that one of the chicks had a huge bald spot on her back. Omg the other chicks were picking on my baby 🥲 I wrapped her in a towel and put her in my cleavage while I ran around like a mad woman getting first aid stuff and set up a hospital...- HensInHouston

Cabbage!
This was the first time they've had something other than their crumbles. I had seen someone recommend putting some grit in with their food to teach/encourage them to eat it. I have a small dish with grit in it for them. Also, I'm growing some "cat grass" for them as we speak! 😊- HensInHouston

What else do they like? I'm thinking about doing a little bell pepper next week or some fresh herbs 🤔- HensInHouston

Cabbage!
My chicks are 2 weeks old and today they got their first taste of cabbage! I chopped it really fine and sprinkled a little of their crumbles and some chick grit on top. At first they were scared (which I found hilarious), but it seems like that feeling disappeared quickly lol. What should they...- HensInHouston

What's your morning view?
It's a warm Saturday morning with a light breeze. The girls are enjoying their "field trip" while I enjoy my coffee. What's your view today?- HensInHouston

Best way to introduce chicks to the outside?
Success! We spent about an hour outside while I cleaned their brooder box. I kept my eye on them the whole time and they did great!- HensInHouston
