    My husband recently decided he likes the NN look. Wish he would have told me when he was insisting on Australorps :barnie I think we are also going to do hay in the coop, but I’m not sure if we are going to put anything down in their run. It’s pretty soft dirt, so I may at least scoop a lot of...

    That’s similar to how entomologists collect at night. They set up a white sheet and shine a light on it. Sometimes, larger predator insects, like praying mantises, will show up and pick off what they want from the sheet :lau

    I finally got some photos with the good camera. Today is cleanout day, so I took the photos before so they wouldn’t be angry with me for putting them in a large box while I work :lau The black chick is my Ameraucana (though, it’s supposed to be a blue :idunno), but the others are my four...

    I’ll definitely bust out the real camera in the morning for some good photos. They’ll all be moving into their coop and run by the end of this next week :hit:wee

    @SonoranChick We are at about 6 weeks, too (totally forgot that!). It is so hard to tell! Siblings all have yellow combs, but this one is darker. I’ll have to get better photos with the fancy schmancy camera. Only time will tell for certain, of course :barnie:lau and your little black Australorp...

    Why are chicks such little tricksters?! I thought a different chick may have been a Roo, but now I’m thinking maybe THIS one is a Roo! Opinions? She (fingers crossed :lau) is a lovely Australorp from @BlueBaby :love

    Ah, that figures! Maybe someone will be going the same direction and can pick up a hitchhiker!

    That’s him! I’ve never had any interaction with him, but many in the chicken groups rave about him.

    @Bobby Basham There is a man in some FB groups I’m in and he takes roosters pretty regularly. I can Pm you his Facebook profile if you’d like?

    I don’t know if I could get mine to hold a chicken, or trim it’s fluffbutt... he goes through phases :lau Just subscribed to your YouTube channel, soooo cute! :love

    This sounds difficult! I have to get my Hooman offspring her first haircut Sunday, and even that seems easier than trying to trim a feather butt :gig

    My in-laws know me as the bug girl from elementary school because I am insect-obsessed! My husband and I would catch all sorts of Arthropods on the playground. First question his father asked when we started dating was, “are you still into bugs?” :lau We had all sorts of pets growing up, but...

    My pit mix picked up one of my mom’s chickens once. Dropped it promptly... he just wanted to play ;) I’d never trust him or our blue heeler with the chickens. I don’t blame you for distrusting the neighbor’s dog you know nothing about one bit! That is a smart move. Two loose pit mixes literally...

    Our three year old is calling our chicks HIS chicks, but he’s afraid to touch them :gig Our 18 month old, on the other hand, is obsessed with them and wants to hold them and pet them, but she’s not allowed to do more than a couple of gentle pets while I hold the chick and her petting hand. She...

    @azurbanclucker yes! Someone in our neighborhood had a macaw we could hear and they lived three blocks away! I second the inside chicken idea, if it’s possible :)

    I was just thinking a crow collar, though I have no experience. Best wishes for your family and chicken :love

    @cactusrota & @meetthebubus thanks for those suggestions! I think I may try raising the feeder for now, as I have many pavers and hopefully it will minimize their likelihood of pooping in the food! Though, I would love to encourage their scratching (partly because it’s adorable!), so maybe I...

    I think she is, but he’s so fickle! First, he was calling her Tootsie, but now he wants to name her Daenerys, despite my insistence that she should be Hedwig :lol: The other ones are still looking for their names! We have been slackers. One person suggested naming one Amelia Egghart, but I’m...
