    my chickens are scared of me:(

    I have an Easter Egger (?). She’s a Wyandotte and Ameraucana mix and she was like that until last weekend and just the other day, started squatting when I go to pick her up. Today she laid her first egg. From what I’ve read and learned, she sees me as the dominant now and submits. She still...

    Looking to add another chicken...but not sure...

    For now Daisy Mae is free range with a small fenced in 50SF garden, where she spends most of the afternoon taking dirt baths and staying safe from the neighbors cats that use the fence as a thoroughfare. This weekend, I'll be putting together her coop and run. Again this is all so...
