    Comment by 'silkiefrizzles' in item 'Easter Eggers'

    I have one Easter Egger that is almost ready to start laying. She is very sweet and doesn't bully the other chooks, even though she is almost twice as tall as them.

    Entertainment for Baby Chicks

    They love it if you catch a few crickets or grasshoppers and let them loose in the brooder/cardboard box.They also love it if you tie some food to a piece of string and hang it in the brooder, or move it around so that they have to jump around to get the food.
