The chickens are old enough to have food scraps now, are there any common household foods I should avoid giving them?

I need to build or buy a larger coop since I am planning on getting about 30 more chickens when I can. I'll need a coop that can fit about 50-60 chickens. I've been told my best bet is to buy a shed or carport to renovate into a coop, but I don't really want to spend $2500+ on a coop. Are there...

She might not turn out to be quite so tiny after all! Hawk is a very pretty chicken, by the way, her feathers are gorgeous.

Lately we've gotten many storms, and my run is very very muddy. I feel bad for my two Cochin babies who have their leg feathers completely covered in mud. Is there anything I can do to make their run a little less muddy after the rain?

I looked at her for a second and I think you're right! She looks very similar and after looking at some pictures of Welsummer pullets she looks about the right size for it too. Thanks for the help!

This is Miss Tiny, one of my chicks bought from Tractor Supply, she is about 7 weeks old. The only thing that was specified about her breed was that she was a bantam, which isn't particularly helpful since there are so many different bantam breeds. Anybody know what she is?
