    Update on Lunch, the zombie chicken.

    Lunch is doing very, very well. She's walking fine, she's perky, alert, eating and drinking fine, though one of her wings is a little droopy. In light of all that happened, and could have happened to her, I believe a bit of a droopy wing is nothing to be concerned about, especially since she...

    It's official. I'm not a cold-blooded murderer after all ....

    ... I'm a pretty bad one. Some of you may have read my post from a few days ago: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/i-feel-like-a-cold-blooded-murderer-need-some-support.1316877/ Last Saturday night, I killed my chicken. I threw her in the woods behind my house, onto a brush pile down...

    Have the chicks been accepted or not? What will "Momma" do?

    On Tuesday afternoon, we got our shipment of day-old chicks, eight of them. We took them out, inspected them, watered and fed them, and put them in their "bedroom" (a small portable coop) in the garage. My idea at the time was to let them grow for several weeks/months, and then slowly...
