    13 week olds sleep in a pile! ??

    When I first got chickens I made a beautiful coop just like all the books recommended with draft free perching area but guess what?

    Should I be proud of myself, or ashamed?

    Unless you are a vegan (eat no meat or animal products) then every day animals die because of you (and me and everyone else). It is more honest to acknowledge this and kill them humanely than to kid yourself that meat arrives ready made on a plastic tray in the supermarket, or that some kind...

    Head was stuck in box, now her neck is extended/SHE'S BETTER NOW!

    One of my young barred rocks managed to jump down from her perch and catch her leg/ foot in the small hook that was on the wall (used sometimes for an extra feed container).

    What is the smallest breed of bantam?

    Very strange! they look likes something from a sci fi movie. Margaret Atwood wrote about a futuristic "chicken" called "chickyknobs" or something like that - it just ate and grew chicken meat - no feathers or wings didn't walk around etc. just grew lumps that could be processed by the...

    Oops my first reply doesn't seem to have come up. I did want to say thanks and I liked your rats! Do you know if Dutch bantams will become tame if handled regularly?
