We will play a little game where you post a picture of some unusual tool. And people try to guess what it is!
The winner is the one with the most points! (you get a point for every one you get right and .5 for a good guess!
With no further delay!
What is this?
To all of you who love nature! Let's chat, share pictures, share stories AND HAVE FUN!
Let me start it off.
Have any of you ever had a close encounter with some kind of predator?
I have with a mountain lion!
I never have done a roleplay but I'm going to give it a try since
The theme for this is your flock of chickens meeting for the first time! And going about your daily tasks! laying eggs, dustbathing, eating treats from your owner!
Here is the character sheet~
Name- Rocky
Breed- Dominque rooster...
Does anyone know what breeds are going extinct? I know they are heritage breeds.
Also, does anyone else has experience with trying to keep these heritage birds pure and alive.
I've wondered this and haven't used artificial light because I've heard it can be stressful.
Is this a myth?
I know normally people use it to keep hens laying throughout the winter. But it seems like this unnatural light would somehow affect there laying pattern or health.
For example, this...
Getting chicks around July to replenish the flock for about the 4th time.
Getting a BO rooster
And some Welsumer chicks!
As always I can't wait and it's not even Christmas yet! :barnie

For all of you who love reading the daily facts, I thought I'd make a thread where you can ask questions. Share info etc. And we can just use the other thread for daily facts!
Also, feel free just to talk about everyday life. It's up to you! If you don't read the facts still join in!
So I live in Maine and I have been wanting to adopt some battery hens from a factory farm. I really want to have the experience of watching the tortured hens go outside and experience their natural behaviors! Its something I have wanted to do for a while. Because it seems like such a...
I know there are probably lots of cat lovers out there so I decided to make a thread where you can post pictures share stories etc.

Chickens get dirty to take a bath! ... A chicken dust bath helps to remove excess oil, as well as external parasites like lice and mites. A dirt bath also maintains the water-resistance of the outer feathers of a chicken. Dust bathing is an important part of keeping chickens healthy and clean...

As we all know its fun to add emoji to your posts. Now wouldn't it be cool to have one of our little yellow guys with a Christmas hat saying merry Christmas? Or maybe just wearing a Christmas hat? (something like that) To add to posts during the Christmas season.
Anyway who would be the one to...
For me, we have coffee cake and YUM IS IT GOOD! :drool:drool:drool
What do other people look forward to eating at Christmas? Let's make this chat long! (foods my favorite topic aside from chickens!)
I remember the first time I got chickens I could not wait! sleeping was hard for a week before I got them. (although I am still excited about getting chickens to this day)
