    Can i give my chickens alfalfa hay or alfalfa grass?

    There's an excellent article on this site that explains everything. I have it bookmarked for myself but I cannot figure out how to copy the link to post it for you. I'll keep trying to figure it out. If anyone knows how please edumicate me.

    I really want this book. I think it would be such a valuable resource for me to have. Backyard Poultry Medicine and Surgery: A Guide for Veterinary Practitioners https://a.co/d/33GZbvB

    Hen pecking me behind my back!

    I feel you. My hubby is 6'5" and a bean pole so even with a belt his pants sit low and his shirts ride up. The longer shirts do help a lot but only if they wear them. Maybe my ladies can help with that. LoL Doesn't it bother him getting pecked in such a sensitive area? I'm still cracking up...

    Have you thought of doing fodder? You can grow it in dish tub from the dollar store.

    Chickens jumping over fence!

    FYI, I've noticed, at least with mine, roosters scream like little girls when you pick them up. It's really funny but shocking when you first hear it.

    Chickens jumping over fence!

    So my father wanted a puppy companion and bless his heart, the one he picked is the best bird dog I've ever seen. She got 2 chickens and 3 guinea before we finally got a handle on the situation. We up a fence around the coop and thought we were good to go. My birds have never been confined and...

    These are on the more expensive side of hen saddles but I have found the cheaper ones and the homemade ones just don't last or don't cover well. I have a couple of hens that must be favorites of my roos cause they're always bare backed. I've tried a few different ones and these are by far the...

    Domonique eating a mouse

    I'm sure mine have enjoyed the occasional mouse. Once I saw one of my hens running away from her own chicks (5 to 6 weeks old) and the rest of the flock with a snake in her beak. I'm on 3 acres and she covered a lot of ground until she could safely gobble it up whole. The thing had to be a good...

    The wonderful properties of chicken feathers

    I think it's great too! I have feathers everywhere right now. Almost my whole flock is molting and they're so pretty I feel like it's such a waste to throw them out. So I grab the ones I like the best and put them in gallon zip lock bags. I have almost 40 birds and I think that all their...

    The wonderful properties of chicken feathers

    That's good to know. Thanks for getting back to me. I'm going to do a load of feathers tomorrow so we'll see how it goes. I'm thinking I'm going to use borax on gentle but hot. Then I shouldn't have to sterilize them I think.
