    My ladies love me!

    Since my BR hens started laying, they have gotten so lovey dovey!! Anyone else experience this? They used to stay just out of arms reach and if I took a step towards them, they would take two steps away. Except when I had a head of lettuce in my hand! Now when they are free ranging, as soon...

    I need your ideas for a charity!

    I work at a county Farm Bureau office and we collected a ton of gently used stuffed animals. We've washed them and tied new bows around their necks and now we need to find a home for them. BUT! No one will take them! I can't believe it but we've been turned down by the Ronald McDonald...

    sex of 10 week old Barred Rock

    Poop.

    I noticed earlier this week that while my 4 week old pullets were free ranging, that they would make a beeline for their coop to go poop. They'd squat and then run back out again to hang with the girls. Anyone else's chickens poop in their coop instead of in the grass??
