I personally don't do it. I'm not against people who do it, don't get me wrong, but I'm so scared that I will hurt them. I imagine how I would feel if I was being held by my feet. I do however make sure the flock knows that I'm boss.
Hello! I have a flock of 18 (2 Rhode Island Red roos, 3 mottled duccle roos, 9 Cochin hens, 2 silkies one male one unidentified... An old English roo, and a sweet hen names Peaches, who is a Mille Fleur Duccle.) this is my first flock and I can easily say I love them!
Sadly, lately my 19th...
Hi! I just wanted to know if my silkie is a hen or a cockerel? It's very sweet and doesn't crow.. It loves to be petted and is always around me when I'm in the coop. Is a pic needed? I'm new to chickens and I don't know what all I should include :P thanks in advance!
