    Stop crowing

    This is a great article that will tell you how to train your roo not to crow. I've used some similar methods with success, but the article makes a good point about the dominance. Now the only time they really crow is when they get bored, which I can work towards fixing...

    So I was thinking can you potty train a Rooster?

    I've been able to do the same with my two Roos. I've held them a lot ever since they were young, and so now, (they're 2 months old), they can sit on me for hours without pooing. They'll only go when I put them down. I haven't figured out how to make them "go outside" but yes, evidently, they...

    Where do you offer Grit/Oyster shell?

    I actually mix the grit into their food. They seem to eat more of it this way. When I lay a separate dish, they'll peck at it, but they know it's not real food and so they tend to dismiss it quickly.

    lap sitting chickens

    Cute! Mine sit with me all the time, sometimes for hours! They are so tame and friendly that they won't poop on people holding them. Somehow they recognize that. It's so cute!

    When to clip chicks wings??

    It's generally not necessary to clip chicken wings. There are some breeds that don't fly well and this may be an option.

    Bantams that lay large eggs

    My very first bantams layed really tiny eggs when they were younger (starting at about 8 months). They integreated with a flock of full sized chickens several years ago, and after a year, their eggs actually increased in size. I'm still not sure if it was because of what they were eating or...
