    Golden Laced Wyandotte Thread!

    Awe...so glad she is getting better. A customer of mine is a vet and she and her (vet) husband went to classes to get up to speed on treating chickens as pets...Chickens had always been treated as farm animals/flocks...not as individuals so much but now so many of us have them as pets there is...

    people with house chickens

    Hi folks, I totally get why you enjoy your hens so much and are keeping them in the house. They are just so much fun....but what do you do about...well you know. I mean our girls come up on the patio at night and get snacks while we eat and then I have to hose the patio after they go in. It's...
