We just moved into a new house and the yard needs a lot of work. We want to replace the grass (actually just weeds at this point). What are some chicken safe/beneficial ground covers that are also good for pollinators? We were thinking about white clover? Has anyone had experience with that?
I got home yesterday, checked on the chicks, and noticed that one of the chicks had a huge bald spot on her back. Omg the other chicks were picking on my baby 🥲 I wrapped her in a towel and put her in my cleavage while I ran around like a mad woman getting first aid stuff and set up a hospital...
My chicks are 2 weeks old and today they got their first taste of cabbage! I chopped it really fine and sprinkled a little of their crumbles and some chick grit on top. At first they were scared (which I found hilarious), but it seems like that feeling disappeared quickly lol.
What should they...
My chicks should be old enough in a couple weeks for short trips outside. We live in Texas so our winters are mild IF we even get them. What are some suggestions for making outside trips less stressful? I want to slowly get them ready for the outdoors/their coop, but I also don't want to give...
Good morning!
I'm a new chicken mom of 5 chicks! 3 Black Australorps and 2 Buff Orpingtons. We currently live in Houston and are starting our little homestead with these gals and a couple of raised garden beds! I'm looking forward to learning from everyone here.
