I'm very seriously thinking of getting a chicken or three to keep primarily in the house. I'd like it to be with us all day (we're both retired and always home) but when I'm working in the garden have it / them out there with me too. I'm torn between Seramas and Silver Sebrights. Does...

We've got our laying girls outside and our rooster. Adore them. Love watching them. Having fresh eggs is wonderful. But I'm so hooked on these tiny breeds of chickens and I've been kicking around bringing a couple home. Before doing something I'll regret though, I'd like info from anyone...

Tell me what it would be like. We're very seriously thinking of selling our house in TN and moving to KY. We had really, really hoped for eastern KY but found some land we like in the southern central part of the state and we're talking to some builders now about a house. One of my 'demands'...

I went out to feed this morning and took some grapes since I'd read on here that chickens love them. While cutting and tossing grapes - which my hens could live with or without - I noticed the hens aren't too nice to the chicks. I mean, they're not pecking them to death or anything but when...

These are the four hens I picked up today. Rooster is AWOL but hoping he returns to his ladies this evening. I'll keep them in the crate in their room in the hopes he comes back to them and close the door behind him. Anyway, this one is, I was told, a Warrior breed. I'd never heard of that...

So I brought home five new chickens today - 4 hens and a rooster. The rooster learned quickly that he can easily hop our fence............and he did. Took off. I chased him around the pasture, to one end of the property and then down to the other before he won and I gave up. Is there any way...

Yesterday I put up some chicken wire and posts to keep the chickens corralled into one small area of the yard. We have four foster dogs left that should be leaving in the next month and then I can take it down and let the chicks have free run of the entire back yard with our dogs, who are...

We currently have four foster dogs that should be leaving at various times over the next month. Once they're gone, no more fosters. Well, maybe a small one inside ocassionally, but no more long termers. I've been kicking around the idea of getting a Pyr / Pyr mix puppy and training it to be a...

I took the chicks outside for the first time today. I put them in an x-pen for dogs and stayed right with them since the tiny girl that had been sick is still so small she can walk right between the bars! She walked out once and I put her in. She did it again and I decided to see what she...

Can someone watch this video and tell me if this is a respiratory issue? My daughter bought six chicks from the same farm and she's lost two of them. Now one of mine is doing this and I"m worried it's respiratory. When I posted photos a few days ago I was told to get rid of the cedar shavings...

I found a small farm not too far from me that raises most of the chicks they sell on their own. They do purchase the production line RIRs but also have barred rock, white rock, silver laced wyandot, black austrolorp, etc. I went leaning toward the barred rock but really considered the RIRs...

We have a very small 'farm' in middle Tennessee (7 acres) and are looking at getting some meat chickens and some egg chickens. My husband has a terminal illness and I'm hoping to grow and raise as much of our own food as possible. I know I can't reverse his disease but figure anything I can do...
