Aww that's really sad but at least you found her and she lived happily! I wonder how many chickens fall off chicken trucks... and forgive my extreme ignorance here, ironic on this thread, but when you say Tyson truck do you mean a meat bird they were gonna kill or does Tyson have egg chickens...
My dad used to be apart of an experiment where they made the "glow-fish" by splicing Jellyfish DNA and adding it to Zebra fish. The results were very cool.
On that note, imagine adding that DNA to your chickens? Glow in the dark chickens! Unfortunately, that would make them easier to...

My first rabbit was a Netherland Dwarf. He was so territorial of his litterbox and SPOILED. If the cat so much as sniffed his litterbox he would hop up on his hutch and not come down until his box was LYSOLED! He'd even pee on his hutch for spite if we didn't.
Humm, my first batch of chickens did LOVE chowing down on my dog's food, and my dad did love sharing his beer with the pets, but I just can't see even him being drunk enough to believe that 10 week old chicks were laying multiple eggs a day; buzzed at that. LOL!!

The employees at mine are usually really good in general. I just wasn't going to take the chance that they'd tell her that she would be fine with putting them on the porch.
I was in town earlier today at TSC and had just gotten some Cornish babies when a woman came up asking if the employees thought that the chicks would be fine if she got some and put them on her porch overnight until she could buy a light and set up a place for them. I HAD to speak up and tell...
Most of us LOVE having a little extra greenery in our runs. I personally spread oats to keep the run from getting muddy. I've never seen anyone who needed to mow their runs though. Only if you have a HUGE run and only a couple of chickens would that even come to play.
You can thank Martha Stewart for helping that myth. LOL!! It stems from her saying that about her Aracauna eggs and of course, that spilled over to Ameracauna eggs, then to Easter Eggers. When I tell folks at work that the only thing that makes an egg healthier is the diet of the chicken, not...
