Okay ... remember when we were all middle school age? How awkward we all were? Pictures of baby chicks are just too cute to handle. We all like showing off our majestic roosters. We delight in cute pictures of beautiful hens, even if sometimes they can look a little frumpy ... they are still...

Herself and I live on a wee third of an acre ... oddly enough, my town let's folks keep chickens, even a rooster! So, three years down the road and the flock it fine, forage as often as possible, stay out of traffic, and since we don't care about having some perfectly manicured lawn, they can...

Ever run into those 'nostalgic' posts, photos, and memes on the social media? I do ... I was born WAY WAY back in the 'before' time of the early 1970's and I cringe a little when people my age post nostalgic stuff about how 'hard' it was ;) Then ... I started running into nostalgic posts about...

I mentioned to a friend that my hen just hatched chicks on Monday. My friend is from Estonia and told me that their grandmother (still in Estonia), who has all manner of multi generational knowledge on raising chickens, duck, gees, and guineas, had said that spring hatches tend to have more...

What songs do YOU know (any era, any genre) that features, talks about, alludes to, or prominently mentions chickens? I'll go first, Willie Dixon's Little Red Rooster as recorded by Howlin' Wolf! I got a little red rooster Too lazy to crow for day Oh, I got a little red rooster Too lazy to...

Facebook does this thing where it will show you posts from the past. When our first chick born of our flock came around my wife took this little video of mama and baby with its first treat. "she" grew up to be a "he" and became problematic and had to be culled ... and we celebrated his life...

Thread for bad jokes, dad jokes, horrible puns that make you groan, etc. Bonus points if they are eve vaguely chicken related! I'll go first ... but you'll probably regret that you've read it. A man goes on vacation for two weeks … he asks his brother to stop by each day to feed and care for...

Let's have some stories about your chickens eating, pecking at, tasting, trying, exploring something that they shouldn't! Everything from the shriek of 'WHAT are you DOING???' when you discover they've hopped the fence to your vegetable garden to 'No, I will NOT allow you to eat that quarter so...

Okay ... what is the worst chicken advice you can imagine? (keep it light, keep I funny, nothing personal!) Possible example: Q: Is my chicken a rooster or a hen? A: Well ... if it likes to watch war movies or old three stooges films, it's a probably a roo. If it likes scented candles and...

I can't cook. I mean, I really can't cook. So if I *DO* happen to cook something I enjoy and also don't die from it, that means *YOU* can cook it much better! Seriously, any 'recipe' threads you see from me should only serve to encourage folks who think they can't cook. Anyway, found this...

Probably everyone has seen this already ... but I can' help but smile when I see it! I dunno who this is, but glad he caught it on video

I can't cook. I mean ... I can only cook well enough 'not-to-die' So on rare occasion that I DO cook something AND enjoy it, I'm kind of proud! I also enjoy learning about what I can forage. Processing acorns is a labor of love, But acorns are actually one of the healthiest nuts around! Read...

I do spend time this weekend reflecting on the brave sacrifice many have made for our country over the centuries. Also, as is stated in the government flyer from 1918, it is your patriotic duty to raise chickens.

My little flock is predominantly black australorps. LOVE 'EM! Let's see those pics people! Show your pride! I know *I'd* like to see some pics of white, blue, and lavender australorps! :)

My wife and I have a small yard and a small flock in suburban NJ. When we were deciding to get chickens In the first place, we reached out to friends and people we know who keep chickens to learn and to have a source to give, sell, or trade extra chicks ... should the need arise. We have a...

New episode tomorrow night ... Anyone else watching? Anyone else as nerdy as my wife and I?

When one of mine start 'singing', The rooster joins in. The sound is halfway between 'pride' and 'murder'. I like it, But it is an assault on the ears! What do your girls sound like?

My rooster is a jerk. But, we love him anyway. Been writing a blog about the experience lately ... it is NOT a 'how to' blog about chickens! It is a loving tribute to my aggressive rooster. http://mydouchebagrooster.blogspot.com/ I'm not selling anything, jut another kook on the internet who...

My folks had chickens when I was small. About three years ago, herself and I started our own little flock of Australorps. Love our girls! Have a love/hate relationship with our roo. We love him (for some reason) and he hates all of humanity and everything un-chicken! Mace
