    Introducing our chicks to our lab.

    We have a seven year old lab that still thinks she's a puppy. One of our large concerns was how she would be around the chickens...the last thing we wanted was for her to think they were a new toy and start chewing on them! To make sure this didn't happen we started to introduce them one...

    Our new chickens are loving their coop. I think at some point I'll change out the roof for a shingled one.

    Paper towels over shavings or not?

    Thanks everyone for the responses...so I'm guessing if my chicks aren't eating the shavings I don't need to do the paper towels. However, it does seem that using paper towels will make cleaning easier...am I incorrect in this? Or will their droppings drip through and cause more harm?

    Is this normal for a SLW...furry legs???

    Thanks...she's a sweetheart. It probably is some weird filter on my phone making her look a different color; she definitely looks like the other pictures I've seen. Thanks for the feedback Alex.

    Is this normal for a SLW...furry legs???

    I'm going through all of the pictures on here in different forums to see the Silver Laced Wyandottes...ours is becoming my favorite of our chicks. On our SLW (see picture) she has fur on the outside of her legs, when I look at all the pictures I notice no SLW's have this. Can someone explain...
