    Is it cruel to have chickens if they can't free range?

    My 2 girls have a home made run and I let them have a little time free ranging most days. They seem happy enough.... particularly if there is lots of chance to scratch about! I think battery farming is cruel but having a run isn't.

    What kind of shoes do you wear out to the chickens?

    I wear my slippers that are lovely and warm...Ugg boot style. Of course it is always wet here at the moment so I wear my husbands crocs on top to keep my slippers dry! It means my feet are warm and dry at the same time!! I would not do this if I ever thought I would be spotted!!!

    Do I need to keep moving chickens from sleeping in the nestbox?

    My girls used to sneak into the nest box at night too so I put in an empty plant pot so they couldn't get in. It worked a treat! from Katy in England

    melting chickens

    This is my first time sending a message to BYC!!!! We got our 2 girls in August and they have become lovely pets.... It is funny to think of life without them now! They are such good pets for children - My 6 year old daughter came running into the house yesterday and said " Mummy, come quickly...

    Post here if you DON'T wash clean-looking eggs

    I don't wash the eggs 'cos in England, we don't eat the shells!!!!!! Tee Hee! Actually, I love when they come in with bits of straw all stuck to them. It shows they are ours! from Katy xxx

    Chickens and bad weather!

    I think they will be able to decide what is best for them. When it pours with rain, my girls hide under the picnic table rather than returning to their dry coop!! (even though the table has slats so the rain falls through!) I believe the important thing is to make sure the drinking water doesn't...

    What treat did your chickies get today?

    My girls got grapes... (cut in half first, obviously as they are too posh to eat 'em whole!!!!!) They chase grape halves down the garden, falling over their great big feet and each other as they go!! Cool!
