This is my first time introducing new chickens into my old flock. I've got a pretty good idea on how I'm going to do it, but I'm just wondering if you guys have any tricks you've picked up! Here's my plan and current situation:
My plan is to begin introducing them at about 5 weeks. I live in...
I live here in NC and this is my first hurricane with chickens. I'm leaving, but I'm leaving my chickens in my garage. It's brick, and there's plenty of places for them to jump on. I have enough food and water in there to last them a week. Anything else? Thanks!:):wee
Ok, so yesterday I went outside to check on the chicks, and they were all inside of their coop. They don't like their coop yet as I just moved them outside a few days ago. I locked them out of their house, but they cuddle underneath it, unless they are feeling adventurous and will play for a a...
Hey guys! I'm really into different chicken breeds, and I'd love to see yours! Upload a photo or two of your favorite birds and say what breed they are. I would love to see them!
My Cuckoo Marens Cookies (she has a twin named Cream). She has the best personality out of all of them because...
I LOVE banana bread, and I used to give my old hens( got rid of them due to pecking issue:() the crust and they loved it, so it was an all in one deal! I love this recipe from an old cookbook from a church, and since then have modified it. I hope you enjoy...
I planted grass seed, a butterfly bush, and some herbs, and it's finally coming along! I will be getting a new coop and a larger run in the fall, but for now I wanted to spice things up :celebrateenjoy this picture I took :)

My chicks have been loving the mint I've been giving them recently. They'll see it and start pacing the fence in their little brooder! They'll be go and live in their coop in a week or two since they turned five weeks the other day, so I've been really being through with the herbs lately...
I recently ordered two Favaucanas from My Pet Chicken and I LOVE them! They're so pretty and unique, so different from the rest of y flock lol. I was wondering more info about them, since they're a designer breed. Anyone own any of these pretty birds?
It smells like Christmas in their brooder today, as I hung up some Rosemary, Basil, Mint, and Peppermint. Basil was the clear favorite! I like to hang herbs or chop some up for them, and they love them! You guys should totally try it, it's safe for them to eat!
