    Run Enrichment Ideas

    We get ours delivered to the house each week. I have a silkie named Rose and when she sees that red and white box she’s all business. They ship them with egg carton pieces for layers. I put one of the egg carton pieces in the run and she just waits for them to come crawling out. Also for the...

    Enough ventilation

    I also live here in Scottsdale. Last summer we built a new coop that includes the cheapest ac unit Lowes had. We linked it to our Alexa plug so we can turn it on from anywhere as needed. Previously our coop was located under 2 olive trees which provided shade, had to remove trees so ac has...

    Camping with your chicks, coop ideas

    So, we’ve taken our chickens with us and we also use a dog crate. They love car rides. They sit on someone’s, or depending on the distance, everyone’s lap. We only had 2 at the time and they were raised more like dogs. Don’t laugh, but our chickens love to watch movies so we take a laptop as...

    Loss of a Silly Girl

    Today we decided to buy Kodak 2 friends. A silkie and a Serama, both 6 weeks old. Good connection with the Silkie and working on it with Serama. She’s just a little bit noisy and active for my girl, but it’s going well considering. Thank you everyone for your advice. We are all still grieving...

    Loss of a Silly Girl

    Baby had reproductive issues and cancer. Kodak is a very healthy girl. If I were to get chicks, that takes weeks before they enter the coop. Do you introduce them to her immediately?

    Loss of a Silly Girl

    Thank you so much. We call Kodak “a house chicken. “ she is very well mannered and only goes in the kitchen or our gym. She spent all afternoon following me around inside and out and then took a nap with my daughter (teenager). Nighttime sucks. I plan on giving her extra attention. I’m...

    Loss of a Silly Girl

    Today I lost my silly girl Baby Chicken. It was devastating for our entire family. We got 2 chickens about 3 1/2 years ago and they quickly became part of the family. Baby was a stinker. She iced to instagate with my son, she would be upset with my daughter if she didn’t see her for 2 or 3 days...

    I need to vent...

    I would add, try not to let them sleep in the egg box. Also I leave the door open so they can go to bed and get up on their own

    Angry molting chicken

    Hi. I have 2 girls that are 2 1/2 years old. One was molting about 3 weeks before the other. She first stopped eating and then we pumped her with lots of protein snacks. As her feathers came in and she put weight back on, she became angry and started pecking and growling at her sister all the...
