I have been giving my chicks treats since day 3. They love quinoa, flaxseed, clover, oats, and they even had a merry game of keep away with a piece of Rice Chex.
Everyone here talks about how their chickens just LOVE grapes. So I cut a few in half and placed them in the brooder. It was...
Sorry if this is the wrong section. I figured if anyone would have any advice, it would be in this section.
I took my kids out for pizza. My wife and I both assumed that the other had put our American bulldog in her crate. We didn't. I come home to a dog with a full belly and a guilty look on...
I came home from work today to find that two of my chicks had a case of pasty-butt. One of them, the yellow chick, was the biggest chick of all yesterday (day 1), now she is tied for smallest in just one day. My wife cleaned them up, and they both took big poops, so I think that went well. I...

I live in Acworth, GA. I am looking to buy about 5 bantam easter eggers or silkies, any color. Pullets only, though. I can pay for shipping, or come get them if you are close enough.
OK. I have been bugging my wife to let me keep chickens for a year. She always refused. Last week a chicken got loose in our neighborhood and it is happily living wild in our woods, dodging our hawks, 'possums, coyotes, and god knows what else. Now she wants chickens. Go figure. I guess the...
