    Chicken Food recommendation for Melbourne, Australia? (And what are the protein requirements anyway?)

    BYC Debate Thread- What's The Friendliest Chicken Breed?

    greatly depends. I have 5 silkies atm who I handraised from day-olds. None of them are cuddly. But I had a silkie hen in 2021 who was the sweetest girl.
