I raise my chickens as pets. The eggs are just a bonus. I have different breeds, mostly silkies, which I breed myself . The other breeds I get from a hatchery. I feed them Layena feed, with a variety of fruits , vegetables, and fresh grass.
Thanks everyone for the input!
I have 5 roosters in my flock. I offered to give one to my friend who has all hens so she could experience the excitement of hatching her own chicks. She politely refused, saying her husband wouldnt eat the eggs fearing they would be fertilized.
I am currently experiencing the same thing in my life. I lost my mother in December after a long illness. She was my best friend. Since then I have "deleted" a few people in my life that have caused me pain because they were " takers " and I was a "giver". This includes family and so- called...
It's a hen. I have a Polish rooster ( named Spot of course) . He is the same color as yours but the plumage on his head is spiky. A hen's plumage is rounded.
