    Are "pinchings from the garden (radishes) ok for 41/2 wk olds

    I just pinched off some of my radish plants and they look like they might be a good snack for my RIR chicks. The chicks have eaten meal worms and bread as a snack already. I have given them grass clippings as well. I want them to have some variety but I wonder am I doing too much too soon...

    Where do eggs come from? Dumb Question I know

    I'm new here and I am a new chicken mom

    Hello everyone. Four days ago I could not resist starting my backyard flock. Of course, they are in my living room right now as they were a week old when I got them. They are six beautiful Rhode Island Red pullets. I already love them beyond words. I am a subscriber to "Backyard Poultry"...
