    Ragdoll chickens.

    My daughter sent me this picture of my meaties laying in their coop. (I am at work and she said all 6 were laying like that.) I have never seen this. Should I be concerned or are they just being silly? This is my first batch of meat birds (actually my first chickens ever). I got them about 4...

    Chicken safe foliage

    Hi all, I am designing my run for my backyard flock. The run itself is going to be attached to a shed that I will eventually be turning into a coop w/ storage and workspace. I am going to be using a prefab coop for the first year while building the new improved version. Anyway, the run is...

    Hi from Indiana

    Hi all. I just joined the group after being invited by a friend. I am new to the chicken world, but have wanted to have chickens most of my adult life. I am 42 and until now there was always a reason I couldn't, mostly space and legalities. I am hoping to start my flock this spring. I have...
