    Irrationally Upset with Chickens

    😅 ❤️ I've been letting them free range while supervised this last week, and they've done pretty well going back in when it's time. I don't have a fenced in yard, but I want them to have plenty of opportunity to forage and feel free. It's just me though, so it's easy to feel like things are out...

    Thanks for replying. I feel a lot of shame about losing my temper but I'm going to try to turn it around ❤️

    Irrationally Upset with Chickens

    Anyone else ever lose their temper with their birds? While getting my ducks in before a storm rolled in, I had four chickens get out and run off. I managed to get two back inside the run, but couldn't catch the last two and had all kinds of mean things to say to them. I guess a neighbor I don't...

    Two eggs laid in one day?

    My crested cream legbar has laid two eggs on a few occasions-- and she has only been laying for a week! This morning she dropped both (which were thin in the shell and part soft) from her roost. Yesterday, she dropped a thin-shelled egg from the roost, but proceeded to lay a regular egg in the...

    I was definitely secretly considering it 😄 They are very playful and sweet. They did a great job following me back to the* house tonight 😭❤️ haha. I think the chickens will appreciate the alone time if I bring them in now and again. 😀

    They sleep in the empty clawfoot tub on a doubled up towel with a bin for splashing and kibbles. Looking forward to getting them out in their duck house.

    Broken tail feathers 🪶

    Luckily, I don't see any signs of feathers plucked all the way from the skin. They stay in the run for the better part of the day, 26'x15' minus the chicken coop. We have racoons and bears that are very active, even in the day right now. The bears have been spotted behind my house three times...

    Broken tail feathers 🪶

    They spend all day out in the coop, then come in at night. They swim in the tub in the morning and before bed, while I build their pond and duck house this weekend. They eat purina duck pellets with added nutritional yeast and some rooster booster sprinkled in. Frozen peas, frozen corn...

    Broken tail feathers 🪶

    Morning y'all, I have two very cute Pekins that are approximately 8-9 weeks old. I just noticed a day or so ago that one now has some broken tail feathers. All the rest of his/her feathers are in good condition. Could this be over preening or some kind of vitamin deficiency? The other duckaroo...
