I have a 2.5 y/o Barred Rock hen that's our house chicken. She's not been her happy-go-lucky self recently. She is going through a molt so she's not laying, that's not the problem. She gets a good quality feed, crumbles, not pellets she doesn't like them. She has free access to calcium/oyster...
Most people here know of our house chick "Z" she's our 2+y/o Barred rock hen who is the most spoiled chicken in history.
Just thought that I'd share some of her dietary likes and dislike. Please join in and share yours.
"Z" will eat flavoured yogurt but not plain.
She will eat strawberry jam...
I have a 2 y/o Barred Rock house chicken. She's a spoiled rotten little brat. But recently she has not been laying like she has in the past. In the past 30 day cycle she has laid 11 times. The longest stretch was 9 days.
Since she lives in the house, the shorter days shouldn't matter. She...
Took a few pictures of our house chick "Z" , ready for Christmas in her new hat and shawl. My MIL got a real kick out of it. Thought that you might like to see.
I just need to vent. I take care of my DH . He's an Army veteran, in a wheel chair and he has needs. Activities of daily living, they call them. Help to get to the bathroom, bathing, dressing combing his hair,cooking, cleaning every day, all day. I feel so ashamed and selfish, but I'm tired...
This is the very first quilt that I have made. Started this about three years ago and just now finished, it has been a labour of love . I know there are many mistakes
but I'm proud of it.
Thanks

DH ran his power wheel chair into the wall, huge hole about 12x18". While I was trying to get him settled and before I could get the dry wall cleaned up, I hear a peck, peck at the wall. Sure enough it was Zee, pecking and eating the little dry wall pieces. Forward, I finally have patched the...
The three of us all have colds. Coughing, sneezing the whole nine yards. It's been fairly cold here 50-55 during the day and 35-40 at night and rainy and down right miserable for N.W. Florida.
But to my question. Our 8m/o Barred Rock "House-chick" is acting strangely. She's a bit...
Our house chick "Z" has been laying for about 6+/- weeks now. Her eggs seem to be about the size of a medium store bought egg, OK so it's medium. But my neighbour asked me "What grade are your eggs?" Totally threw me. I know store bought eggs have grades, but what about home-grown? Oh she...
Besides taking care my DH, DS (who's home from the Army) my dogs, birds and of course my house chick "Z", the way I get to relax is to break out the Scroll Saw and place blade to wood. I love it. Here are a few of my larger projects. I do a lot of smaller things like ornaments, puzzles etc...
These are some of the things that I have done when I was exploring woodburning and oil pencils. Hope you like them.

Following a couple of pictures of our house chicken outside wearing her combination diaper and lead. She loves going outside and knows that when she gets her diaper on shes going outside.
I made her several diapers, This one is flames..
OK, I have read several threads about the different things that you can feed your chicken, I have read with interest the debate over Purina and PM feeds. Animal protein v Vegitable protein. Treats v No treats etc... So yeah I'm confused.
I have one chicken, a house chicken. She's a great...
Being very new to chickens I never realized how beautiful the feathers are. What crafts have you made with them? Jewerly? Dream catchers? what? I'd really like to know, and does anyone has some for sale or trade, please contact me.
Thanks.

My son was given a chick as a rescue, because we have parrots and the person thought that we would be the chicks best placement anyway. We were told she was a "Barred Rock" I posted her picture when she had her first egg and then again on the Barred Rock thread. Several times I have been told...
OK I know chickens lay eggs all the time, no big deal right? Well this is her (our) very first egg! I'm really excited! Had to text our son in Ft.Jackson that his rescued baby chick had her first egg! He's as excited as I am. Now I just don't know what to do with the egg. I don't really...
Good Morning all,
Needless to say, I'm a newbe to this site and to having a pet chicken. My son (18) was given a 2 week old Barred Rock chick as a rescue because the person knew have birds,( Blue and Gold Macaw, Umbrella Cock-a-too and a Cockatiel) so they assumed that we would be able to care...
