    What was your worst mistake as a chicken keeper?

    The kennel itself would probably have stayed okay, but the big blue tarp we put on it for rain and wind protection 😲 😱 was homemade SHOCK AND AWE! My babies thought they were going to OZ. Luckily Dorothy had already taken care of the Wicked Witch and her evil monkey minions.

    What was your worst mistake as a chicken keeper?

The first I believe that many or most of us have made, which is to fail in obtaining a university degree in chicken...

    What was your worst mistake as a chicken keeper?

    The second of my biggest (no make that 3rd) mistakes was similar. I had my flock foraging in a fenced area that we had never had problems with until I ran up to the store for a quick few items. When I got back I had about 15- 30 birds massacred including my chickens, guinea and Silver...

    What was your worst mistake as a chicken keeper?

    I have found that unless you really know how to determine what breed you are buying and/or pattern and feather sexing, then you have a good chance of not getting what you think you are. I bought 4 Speckled Sussex from TSC and ended up with 1 Cornish Cross pullet, 1 Cornish Cross cockeral, and...
