    Ground cover ideas?

    We just moved into a new house and the yard needs a lot of work. We want to replace the grass (actually just weeds at this point). What are some chicken safe/beneficial ground covers that are also good for pollinators? We were thinking about white clover? Has anyone had experience with that?

    My chicks gave me a heart attack!

    I got home yesterday, checked on the chicks, and noticed that one of the chicks had a huge bald spot on her back. Omg the other chicks were picking on my baby 🥲 I wrapped her in a towel and put her in my cleavage while I ran around like a mad woman getting first aid stuff and set up a hospital...

    Cabbage!

    This was the first time they've had something other than their crumbles. I had seen someone recommend putting some grit in with their food to teach/encourage them to eat it. I have a small dish with grit in it for them. Also, I'm growing some "cat grass" for them as we speak! 😊

    Cabbage!

    My chicks are 2 weeks old and today they got their first taste of cabbage! I chopped it really fine and sprinkled a little of their crumbles and some chick grit on top. At first they were scared (which I found hilarious), but it seems like that feeling disappeared quickly lol. What should they...

    Best way to introduce chicks to the outside?

    Success! We spent about an hour outside while I cleaned their brooder box. I kept my eye on them the whole time and they did great!

    One week. I want to take them out when they get closer to 3 weeks.

    Best way to introduce chicks to the outside?

    Do you sit or stand in there with them? My chicks seem to be a little more at ease when I'm near by. Or do you recommend letting them build their confidence and doing it alone? 😆

    Best way to introduce chicks to the outside?

    My chicks should be old enough in a couple weeks for short trips outside. We live in Texas so our winters are mild IF we even get them. What are some suggestions for making outside trips less stressful? I want to slowly get them ready for the outdoors/their coop, but I also don't want to give...
