    Golf ball thief..

    I wish I could see a video of that😳😂😂😂 We removed a large rat snake from our yard, about a week after our chicks hatched. Luckily, we caught the 🐍 before it did any damage😊 Happy everything turned out well for you, and congrats on getting the ball back😂

    Need to know gender if possible.

    Not sure if they are too young to tell, but I'm thinking they are cockerels. Two of our baby chicks, multiple pictures.

    Chicken school!

    Mine are terrified of 🍉 😂😂😂 We placed our roo on the watermelon, to try and show him it was alright, and he screamed like a girl and ran😳😂😂 We also tried to hand feed them, but they still won't take it. They love other scraps from our garden, mealworms, and mice. They always pay attention when I...

    Silkie is amazing adopted mother😍

    I love it❤ Stormy will jump on the back of a hen, and peck them in the back of the head until they give up😂😂 I was worried about pecking order when we first got her, until I saw her jump on a hen. It was hilarious😂 I love how much attitude is packed into suck a small hen😍

    We have 7 new chicks!!😍

    Today, we had some flash flooding. We've had this in the past, but it seemed to happen faster this time. Our backyard is very uneven, and has several spots where water will accumulate. Unfortunately, it seems one of those spots includes where we placed Queenie and her brood. They were all...

    We have 7 new chicks!!😍

    We have a feather foot, named Queenie, that went fully broody. We marked the eggs, and left her in the coup with everyone else. While she was sitting on the eggs, I got busy and wasn't even thinking of checking what she was sitting on. Honestly, I assumed my husband was keeping up with it. Well...

    Chicken summoning ritual😳😄😂😂

    Chicken summoning ritual😳😄😂😂

    Yesterday we caught 3 mice in our live traps that we keep by the chicken feed. One by one I released the mice into the run, and only stayed long enough to witness their demise. I came back out a few hours later, and discovered this. The chickens had placed the dead mice in a triangle formation...

    Silkie is amazing adopted mother😍

    We have two new additions to the flock🐣🐣 Queenie, our feather foot, went broody, so we decided to allow her to hatch a few eggs. We had one the first hatch two days ago, and the second hatched yesterday morning😊 There are three more eggs that will hopefully hatch, but the two hatched chicks seem...

    Silkie is amazing adopted mother😍

    Stormy is still hanging around with her babies, but she has stopped calling them over for treats, and no longer sleeps with them at night. They are beautiful, and I love the head feathers!❤❤

    Silkie is amazing adopted mother😍

    Today two hens were fighting about something in the coup. Probably a nesting box🙄 We have four, but apparently they all want to lay in the same box. Anyhow, Mick Jagger, our 6 week old cockerel, decided to break up the fight😳😂 Technically, he was successful. They quit fighting, and chased him...

    Aggressive Rooster

    I never turned my back on my roosters, I used to have two, now I have one. When one would look like he was sizing me up, I simply grabbed him, and 'pecked' him lightly on the head with two fingers. I would put him down, and lightly push him into a submissive squat. Sometimes, I would carry him...

    Let that Rooster Crow 🐓

    Sometimes there are other solutions, however, not everyone can keep, or wants a rooster. Also, when it comes it Cornish crosses, a meat bird, slaughter is actually a mercy.

    Let that Rooster Crow 🐓

    I have raised other animals for slaughter, and had no issues with it. For some reason though, I cannot bring myself to slaughter, or send to slaughter any chicken we have🤷

    The mystery/humor of buying straight runs

    Perhaps you and I need to use reverse psychology next time, so we'll have the hens we need😂😂

    The mystery/humor of buying straight runs

    We got two Polish Crested chicks, hoping both were girls...well, of course one turned out to be a boy😂🤷

    Help baby chick

    It sounds like purchasing a friend for it isn't an option, which is what we did for our lone chick, but they don't do well alone. I've see others who have mentioned putting stuffed animals and a mirror with the chick, and be prepared for it to think that you're mom. Chickens are flock animals...

    Let that Rooster Crow 🐓

    We have one rooster and one cockerel. We used to have two roosters and one cockerel, but we re-homed our subordinate barred rock, Romeo, because he was getting picked on by the girls. Our dominant rooster is a Black Australorp named Omen. Our new cockerel, almost 2 months old, is a Polish Crest...

    Silkie is amazing adopted mother😍

    We got two Polish Crested chicks. After having them in the brooder for a few days, we decided it would be best if one of our hens decided to adopt them. I immediately thought of Stormy, our Silkie, because she was determined to stay broody, and would go back to being broody a day or two after we...

    A Chicken Story from Tractor Supply

    I bought 2 Polish Crested chicks from TC, the sales guy thought that the 4 chick requirement was unnecessary. I was happy about that, because I really only wanted two. Well, I also should've listened to my gut. I asked him if he knew the difference between males and females. If course, he...
