The girls were being much louder than usual this morning so I went out to talk to them. Here's why... Not sure who laid it. They all seemed rather excited.

Corn on the cob is the biggest hit here.

Try a smashed boiled egg.

I swear that the egg brought back my runt from death's door.

Here's 5 out of 6. You can see the runt who almost didn't make it on the right is starting to catch up in size. She seems to be holding her own now.

The hullabaloo was over my post (#18 on page 2). It hasn't been removed, as there was ZERO reason to remove it. I suspect the complainant, who has yet to clarify their statement may has misread the word "runt". Nuff said?

Not really, but I'm a 40 something, grey-bearded biker. Still, I don't believe there was anything said that anyone who has spent more than 5 minutes on the interweb could find offensive. Anyway, I came here to talk chickens. And mine are doing great!

Does anyone else find offensive language here? I'm truly confused.

Pardon me?

I just gave my chicks a handful of earthworms. OMG....too funny! They were scared for about 30 seconds until the runt went charging in. Then it became a frenzy.

I did like others and started by holding food in my outstretched hand. Takes a while for them to warm up, but once one braves it the rest would follow. At 5-6 weeks old, I can only take letting eat out of my hand for a few minutes(their beaks can hurt), but a couple of them like to play "flight"...

Easy to insulate with blue-board. I'd go for it.

Got a great deal on a used 10'x10' dog kennel today on Craigslist today. We managed to get it up before it started hailing. The plan is to put a hardware cloth skirt all the way around. Would 2' up and 2' on the ground be sufficient? We will also be covering the top with poultry wire to keep out...

That's a lot of money for a little coop. Keep checking your local Craigslist for deals. I bought mine new from a local shed builder for only $500! We divided it in half temporally till the chicks get bigger, wired it and added linoleum tile to the floor for easy cleaning.

Found on the web.... Some common signs of antifreeze poisoning in dogs and cats include: Drunken behavior Euphoria/Delirium Wobbly, uncoordinated movement Nausea/Vomiting Excessive urination Diarrhea Rapid heart beat Depression Weakness Seizures/Convulsions/Shaking tremors Fainting Coma...

I had a problem with one of my six being half the size of the others, acting shy and lethargic. Started adding probiotics last Thursday and saw a little improvement. Gave her some hardboiled egg yesterday morning and WOW, what a difference! She's been like a totally different bird.

Here's ours. Just picked them up yesterday,

Thanks for all the warm welcomes. The amount of info here is staggering.

Hello all. After much urging from my better half , we've decided to start a small flock. No chicks yet but i did pick up a pre built coop yesterday and wrangled it to the back yard this morning. Looks like some quality time will be spent at the local Tractor Supply next. Here's a pic of the...
