I'm thinking about planting some hostas and other perennials around the outside of my chicken run. Are hostas okay for chickens to eat? The plants will be on the outside of the fence, but they still might be able to reach some leaves, so I don't want to plant something unsafe for them.
Any...
I'm hoping we'll get some eggs from this darling, but I'm suspecting NOT. Wish I had gotten better pics, but this one doesn't stay still long. This is my McMurray free rare. He or she is 7 weeks old.
I bought this lovely lady at an auction, along with her four babies. I'm suspecting she might be a Spangled OEG hen, but I'm fairly new to chicken ownership.
Of course, she may be a mix, but any input welcome!
Thanks,
Deb
I received this chick as my free rare chick from McMurray Hatchery on Monday, so this chick is 5 to 6 days old. This my first attempt to post photos here, so I hope they appear. Any help on identifying this breed would be wonderful. This is a gentle little chick that hops right up onto my hand.
