    Out of feed until Sunday when my feed order comes in

    When I unexpectedly run out - I cook up some brown/white rice and/or barley, oats, quinoa or whatever grains I do happen to have in the house. I think they love the change up in feed.

    what are pheonix chickens like?

    I have Phoenix hens, no roos. (Lakenvelders, BO's, Spangled Hamburgs too) They are very noisy, cackling cackling cackling constantly. Very possessive of the coop--start yacking whenever anyone goes inside and will follow you in to check out whatever you may be doing-very inquisitive, easy to...

    Cover for pop door while open?

    On my pop door which is open year-round, I used a couple sheets of small bubbled bubble wrap--they can sorta see through it so they had no problem instantly going in and out. It was heavy enough cause I used a few sheets so did not blow in the wind and seemed to work perfectly.

    I am in LOVE !! PICS ADDED UPDATE FROM VET

    My daughter has 2 hooded males that she had neutered--apparently neutering keeps them from getting many types of tumors and they live longer and healthier lives. They are wonderful pets--wish more folks would realize what intelligent, clean and loving creatures they are!

    German chickens

    I have Lakenvelder, Spangled Hamburg, Phoenix and BO hens. The Lakenvelders don't much care for being run kept-much prefer free range and can fly really well (for a chicken). They are friendly but independent. They are not as noisy as the Hamburgs and Phoenix but not by much. The BO's are like...
