    The Sizzle Thread!

    Hey everyone! Chicken newbie here. We have 10 right now of a now of a mixed flock. Considering getting a few sizzles to add to our grouping. Anyone know how they are in cold temps? Can they tolerate it? We live in Wisconsin. Our winters can get quite chilly.

    Are apples safe to feed to Chickens?

    Thanks! I believe my browns are known for both meat and laying, and the special black are just super friendly overall. 1 of the 4 is still a bit scared. My guess is that it will change with time.

    Who else is waiting for that first egg?

    I'm in the same boat. Mine are only 7 weeks old. I have a way to go. Lol Loving all the info on here!I'm also half tempted to get some layers, because of the threat of egg pricing.

    Are apples safe to feed to Chickens?

    Chickens are pretty darn entertaining, aren't they? I can't wait to see how they react when the run is attached to the coop. Right now we have a temporary run and have to put them in and out by hand. Hoping for results this weekend. They sure love their clippings though! One of my favorite...

    Mainly my white leghorns are skiddish. The black ones are super friendly, and my brown ones are next in line with friendliness. The black ones have figured out that I feed them, so they come running when they see I'm about to open the coop door.

    Are apples safe to feed to Chickens?

    Hi! I'm a newbie here. I was eating an apple this evening and thought of chopping up the core and whatever pieces I didn't use to give to my girls. I want to be sure I make the best of any and all scraps we have in our home, to keep the cost of feed down for our chickens. They are 6 weeks old...
