    Either the cats will kill and eat the chickens or the chickens will kill and eat the cats. You realy need to fortify the coop if you do get them.

    Anyone else worried about microplastics in their chickens?

    Mine eats full-blown peices of plastic. Im not even sure how she finds them. After the neon purple mushroom she ate and all the glass shards (again, where is she finding these?????) I stopped worrying. They will be fine.

    Nuthatched is so right. If there is not a vet, that will be on you, and I can 100% vouch that is NOT fun and very stressfull. I have successfully saved mine from dying twice. Do not take them to a vet who knows nothing about chickens. A vet almost killed one of mine.

    How are chickens easy to take care of????? Mine are far from easy. They need me to let them out of the run for at least an hour a day (usualy more), they get mad if I clean their coop or move ANYTHING, they have eaten all the plants in our entire yard, and they are so picky about what they eat...

    Do not feed them only food scraps unless that is your only option financialy. It is not healthy for them to eat only food scraps and no chicken feed.

    Aviary Veterinarians?

    Lucky me, I actually have a neighbor who used to be a chicken vet, and raise chickens, and she helps with my anxiety. I wouldnt have taken the chicken to the vet, but she was on vacation.

    Be carefull about vets. Make sure they know what they are doing. I had a vet almost kill one of my chickens. The best thing is to have a neighbor or friend who knows things who can give your chickens checkups and help if they get sick or injured.

    What special care do you give your flock?

    The list of things mine has eaten would scare any pet owner. Esther has eaten: a drop of paint primer, metal, beads, plastic bits, shards of glass, modpodge off my fingers, a NEON purple mushroom, string, paper (my homework :/ ), one of her feathers, fabric, and some other things I forgot. She...

    What special care do you give your flock?

    I give mine oatmeal as a treat on cold mornings, invite their favorite people over every year for their adoption-day, and sometimes take them inside when the weather is nice for a little spa and checkup. The spa consists of an epsom salt bath, oats to snack on, and a blowdry. Depending on whos...
