    My chicks keep eating cobwebs!

    Don't worry yourself with this. Mine eat what ever movies in the yard. I will let mine out, and I will see my black australorpe rooster running around the yard with a huge frog hanging out of his mouth, in addition to a pile more chickens chasing him wanting some of his goodies. When we...

    My chickens won't roost. They sleep on the floor!

    My first batch of chicks I brooded last year slept in a doghouse inside the hen house together until they were all so big (14 Rhode Island Reds & 14 Australorpes) they were falling out the door of the doghouse. They they dogpiled in the corner. Once they got older, they would sleep wing to...

    Are you still having problems with chicks pecking each other? This is my second year with brooding chicks. My first year was easy. This year I have 17 black sumatras and 5 rhode island reds in one brooder and in the other I have 12 golden comets. The golden comets came from a supply store in...

    City Slickers "One Thing"

    ;)Hello. I really like your question. People travel this earth wondering what they are missing. They feel like they have this hole inside them. They try to fill it with all sorts of things but this emptiness, loneliness, or what ever some may call it only gets larger and consumes them...

    Strange Sleeping Arrangement!!!

    Well last night we put up my husbands deer camera. This morning I went out at daylight, got the camera, just had to see. A RACCOON has been killing my chickens. He is really FAT too. He has been dragging them out from under the fence, because there is no way his fat rear can fit under any...

    Strange Sleeping Arrangement!!!

    I am so glad to hear that others have had their chickens sleep in a pile together. I cannot get any of mine to roost. I have traps out for the thing getting my chickens. I went and got 4 more traps to set out. We are thinking it may be a coyote, bobcat, mink, starving dogs??? We have a cat...

    Strange Sleeping Arrangement!!!

    Thanks. I will try this. I haven't been on the message board much. Tuesday I was mowing back beside the chicken yard and found 2 spots with black feathers everywhere. I got nervous and went and counted chickens. Something had gotten 2 of my black australorps. Looks like they both were...

    I took some pictures of my chickens. I uploaded to my uploads, but I can't figure out how to get them posted on the forum or on my blog so people can see. Can anyone help?

    Strange Sleeping Arrangement!!!

    They are really sweet. Longer I have them, more I just love them. I told my husband that when he came home and told me that we were going to get chickens, I thought he was crazy. Now, I just don't know what I would do without them. They all need me and it is what I needed to. For something...

    Strange Sleeping Arrangement!!!

    I had never had chickens before. This was all new to me. I picked up my 28 baby chicks and took very good care of them. At 4 weeks they were to big for the brooder, so since they were the first, we went on and put them in their yard. The first night was something else. I went out to check...
