    what about greens?

    How much "green" food is too much? I know with rabbits too much can cause diarrhea. Once in a while I hang up romaine lettuce that they like to tear at also cabbage. But how often is it okay? Also I read that chickens shouldn't have citrus but our neighbors across the street give them...

    Comment by 'lovie chick' in item 'Orpington'

    I agree with you. I have two Buffs named Lucy and Izzy. Lucy is very friendly and sometimes stays in my lap for over an hour. Izzy is more standoffish but the Buffs are definitely my favorites though I do love all my girls.

    Does your spouse or significant other support your chicken hobby?

    Other than collecting the eggs everyday my hubby has no interest, he sometimes feels the cost is too much but he realizes it is something I really enjoy so does put up with it.

    I have no roosters as they are not allowed. I have 12 hens and about 6 of them that are missing their feathers. One of my black australorps had this problem a few months back so moved her and her sister in with the goats and they grew theirs back. Can't move them all in there1 and still...
