    Who Has Read The Book of the Dun Cow? (chickens are the main characters)

    Who has read The Book of the Dun Cow? This is an amazing fantasy story with chickens as the main characters...a great plot (light vs. darkness, like Lord of the Rings), characters who change and grow and learn to depend on each other...violent in some parts, so younger kids might not want to go...

    Lots of Spilled Food Even With a Raised Feeder

    WOW, chickens are so messy. I hung my round, plastic feeder in the corner of the coop. They have spilled a lot of food underneath it, and it's kind of depressing to see them waste so much...also, it's not fun cleaning it all up.

    Four week-old Buff can't stand; toes are curled!

    This is my four week-old Buff. About two mornings ago, I caught her not able to support her own weight, just "waddling" around on curled toes. She sits back on her knees. We've tried two different wraps/splints for her feet. But they seem kind of awkward and bulky. These pictures are of...
