Whew! That's a relief. Dirt bathe? Why do they do that? Don't they water bathe like other birds? Chickens sure are odd

Okay, so I just found my chicken laying on her side with her feet up! I thought, "Oh no! She's dead!" But then my hubby reached down to pick her up and she rolled over, stood up and looked at us like, "What?! Is something wrong?" She seems fine and is walking around like it was no big deal. Is...

I have built a coop for her large enough to accommodate at least 5 more chickens and there's a few acres of on which to roam.

I haven't seen any eggs yet. She doesn't like the chicken feed I received from a friend of mine...not dry at least. She will eat it if it's wet with watermelon water. Looks like I will have to wait on the rooster. Thank you! P.s. Her name is Lucky Lady but, I call her Waldo because you never...

I'm in Gilmer. It's a little po-dunk town near Longview.

Well...I have been offered a rooster. Got any advice?

@BantamFan4Life Thank you for being here. I'd be lost without this community.

Yes, we are looking into finding some "fowl" friends to keep her cpmpany. They will more likely be chicks, though, and will have to stay separated until they grow. At what age can they be integrated? Do they need to be the same breed? What if she doesn't like her step-sisters? Lol! **CJ**

Hi Justin! Thank you so much for all the links! I had no idea there was such a helpful community of "fowl friends" to guide me in my new adventure. God always provides my needs! **CJ**

Hi Harley! Thanks for the advice. I have found myself cluck-sitting this chicken more than I hand anticipated. She is the sweetest thing! I had no idea she would follow me around like a puppy & come when I call her. Lol! I definitely need an area I feel she will be protected when I can't be...

Hey y'all! I'm very new to this whole chicken raisin' thing...in fact it happened by the will of God I suppose. My hubby & I have talked for years about wanting to raise chickens, but never did much about it. We didn't feel the timing was ever right. We recently moved to a new property, so I...
