    suitable feed other than laying pellets?

    https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/pet-chicken-owners-unite.1271291/ You are going to be putting a diaper on your chicken? That does not seem like a good idea in my opinion.....

    suitable feed other than laying pellets?

    Hmmmmm This sounds like someone I have talked to on a different social media platform. They have their one thirteen year old chicken who lives with them in their bedroom and has done so for 5 years. They were asking for help as the hen was dehydrated, has watery diarrhea and won't eat. Said by...

    Almost 7 week old chick's and treats

    hahaha good to keep in mind for sure!! They didn't even eat the raspberries. Not sure if it's because it formed a weird mash when it thawed or what but it's now on the ground of the run. That's ok, we are moving the coop again tomorrow so I'm sure the dogs will eat it. They love raspberries.

    Almost 7 week old chick's and treats

    Just wondering if I can feed my 6-7 week old leghorns frozen raspberries? It's a pretty hot day out. Do I need to thaw them? I've already crushed them up a bit while frozen. Also are they at the age I can toss a head of lettuce in there to peck and play with?

    Is my baby being bullied?

    They are about 6-7 weeks old. He seems to be able to eat and drink fine. He does get chased sometimes and pecked at a little but I'm not home during the day so I don't see what happens when I'm gone. The reason I'm wondering is because this is a picture of 'him' and one from the same flock. The...

    Is my baby being bullied?

    This little dude is the smallest of the flock for sure but this is my first flock so I don't know if he's getting bullied or just not growing his big boy feathers yet?

    5 week old chickens

    At what age can I start feeding this to my chickens? Or other treats? Right now I've been giving them a little meal worms and sunflower seeds but I also have a pumpkin to give them too.
