    Finish this sentence: "You know you're addicted to chickens when..."

    Rot Ro, it's a Rooster in the city-what do I do

    The local feed and grain shops let me put them there for adoption. I know how you feel. I have Silkies and I may or may not have roos and it will BREAK my heart to get rid of them or to separate them.

    Idea for keeping chickens COOL in outrageous HEAT!! Update w/ PICTURE!

    You know I am not handy at all! I have a smallish coop and run just enough for 5 hens. I would have to build a coop within the coop maybe? My little girls seem happy but my poor Leghorn is so big compared to the Polish. If I have to give them a huge cage in the house until she grows a bit...
