    Can it be OK to have just one chicken as a pet?

    I know chickens are flocks by nature but do you think it's possible to just keep one chicken? Would she be lonely? Please if anyone has any idea I'd be happy to hear. For or against it. Thanks~

Chasing her and pinning her down ~ It was...

    If your finding feathers

    On the coop and run does that mean they are molting? No feathers missing one any of the girls... And if they are molting does that mean they will lay eggs soon? I'm keeping all the feathers... Just like I kept my son's baby teeth.
