    Pros and Cons of Roosters

    I love this so much. So. True. 🔥 Animal parents do not mess around when it comes to disciplining their young. And those littles quickly learn to fall in line, and are all the more safe and better off for it.

    Pros and Cons of Roosters

    This. My rooster stands between our old girls and young girls, to prevent fighting. Even in the coop at roost time he’s between them, and it’s so much more peaceful. My flock does free range, and I like having fertilized eggs so my broody hens can hatch and raise their own. I did have to get...

    How long can chickens stay in freezing weather?

    My chickens are out in the snow and even sleeping in a tree in negative temperatures. They have a big coop available, but they prefer to be wild chickens. Sometimes if there’s a lot of ice they’ll go in the coop, but rain, snow, freezing temperatures, even harsh winds…they’re in that dang tree...

    Is two roos one too many for 13 hens??

    Lots of people have great success keeping multiple roosters that free range and have enough space. ❤️ Even some confined have lived well together for years and years. Our roosters got along fine once the leader was established, but the lower rooster wouldn’t stop going after humans even from...

    What food are you craving RIGHT NOW?

    Me either! First pregnancy I’ve craved candy, and it’s been like 15 years since I’ve had skittles. 🤷🏻‍♀️

    Ohh! Do they taste at least *slightly* like skittles?

    What food are you craving RIGHT NOW?

    It’s not as funny or fascinating as I’d like, but I’m 19 weeks pregnant and cannot for the life of me cave and consume all of those dyes. But…I’ve never thought about skittles so much in my life.

    prayer warriors (following Jesus Christ, everyone welcome)

    God CAN still heal today, but sometimes He also wants us to do what we can do. Including setting our priorities correctly. Not to knock on you, but you let it go for a few days and prioritized other things. 🫣 I’m so glad you got proper medicine and will be praying for quick relief from this...

    6 week-old Silkie (and me) attacked by a hawk yesterday

    Praying it’s just a little set back for Lil Bit, and that the next update is about extreme improvement! ❤️ You can’t carry that, there’s no point. Every decision we make in life carries some risk. You’re not expected to know how every circumstance will end, so don’t expect that of yourself. If...

    I'm at the end of my rope.

    I’m you’re in such a tough spot, seemingly not only with chickens. ❤️ Praying your eyesight never leaves, and you one day have a beautiful flock to behold and cherish. I don’t say any of that lightly, either. I say it as someone who has experienced unexplainable miracles, that radically...

    How intense is your pecking order?

    You have a beautiful set up! My chickens free range but I wanted to ask if any tall weeds have any chance of sprouting up in their run? I found this picture from someone else on BYC. My chickens have a lot of bushes, woods and high weeds to take cover in, that they much prefer over our porches...

    Older hens killing 11 week old chicks

    I free range mine and have never had luck like that. 😂 However I find several factors have mattered for me in the past. 1 - who the head hen is, and 2 - the breed of chickens I have at the time. When I had an aggressive head hen, she was aggressive to chicks and led the other hens to the same...
