    Any roos among my nine week old chickens?

    Toys for chickens

    Of course! Also, keep in mind chickens are normally are not going to be outgoing and brave with a new item in the coop. They have a much higher sensitivity because they are prey animals. And have to be on alert to make sure a new thing isn't a new danger. So they won't be immediately...

    Toys for chickens

    I will! I enjoy making them. Also, check the bird aisle in the pet stores! I've seen so many cool toys in those aisles that chickens would love. Just be aware that straw based toys are not ok. Your chickens could impact their crops by eating that stuff. But I did find cool toys with shredded...

    New to raising chics

    Probiotics for chicks are supposed to be in their water until they are fully developed. Then you can choose to move to adult probiotics. And it's even more important if they seem weak
