    We make them oatmeal with raisins. They love meal worms, raw sunflower seeds and cheerios. They love red grapes too. We feed them a variety of snacks off our list of OK stuff to feed them. We however do not let them get into cat or dog food.

    Our 4 hens won't eat pellets. They are very spoiled, yet not 24/7 indoor chickens.

    It could be a sickness, but there are certainly worse things than wanting more chickens. I know I do!

    None of my hens ever stay in their coop. They only lay their eggs there. They want to be out whatever kind of weather. They get sopping wet in the rain, and stay out even if there is 6 inches of snow. They all get very restless unless they a in their free range place. (our whole back yard)...

    I have trimmed my girls wings ( just one) several times. We have an 8 foot fence, but they still could fly. A friend of mine showed me how to do it. It doesn't seem to make them of balance at all. We have a ramp to their laying {place) and it doesn't seem to bother them at all. They are all...

    Thanks! Your chickens are so gorgeous and you have them so "posed". It looks professional. Such an array of feathers and colors !

    I am still trying to make a decision about chicken diapers. They are so expensive . The chicken diaper patterns on line are really not all that. I love my hens, and I let them in the kitchen daily to just "be in" for a little while.. Probably not going to happen as the days get warmer. I...

    They are so cute and precious. Scary to me though, I need to learn a whole lot more before bringing little peeps into the world. I have to learn about the introduction of new chicks into the flock, certainly about diseases. Our dog and cats go in a funk when we are not there. So do the...

    I am so, so sorry about Marilyn. I know you loved her very much. Sometimes it takes the greater strength to just let them go. I hope you weren't all by yourself. That is such a gift of love when there is just nothing else to do.

    Sunni is darling. I have never tried to give ours a bath. But when it rains, they just get sopping wet, so I guess they don't mind water too much. Does she lay eggs? What kind is she? Luckily, our Sheltie has never, ever showed any animosity towards any other animals. He is a herding...

    Thanks for the ovation. Not sure what it is all about but it sounds nice. (I'm new and still trying to navigate this, as well as not being too good on electrical items).

    OMG The chicks look so comfortable and the dog looks happy. All 3 of my cats, 1 dog and 4 hens get along. The only stinker is of all names - Sweet( Pea. She picks on my Americana she is white, and all the others are brown. She flies up to get to the treats first, she runs pell mell with the...

    I guess us animal lovers have to be something different with all the stuff, worry, late nights, vet bills etc. that we have to put up with, not to mention the loss of one or cherished pets. But the world would be so boring without these wonderful, fetching and gorgeous animals (all inclusive)...

    What a beautiful bird! I so didn't know that chickens only produced for 3 years. Anyone know their life span? I feel that I am going to be running a senior chicken home. How very cool that you can take her to work. I took my Sophie (canine) with me to work everyday. We are so lucky! I love...

    Opps! I poisoned the earth with 2 fine human beings. But despite my faults, I love my rescued Sheltie, and 3 rescued felines and I love them all to pieces, including my 4 lovely girls, who have graced us with eggs everyday, even though it is below freezing.

    The scarf is really so cute! What is it with these creatures that they don't like scarfs, dress up, diapers - for dogs warm booties-and for cats a little outfit for cold outdoors. I guess they are just independent souls and have likes, and dislikes, much like us humans. But they sure love...

    She is cute. But I have a question. Does she wear a chicken diaper in the house? If not, how do you keep up with her? I have 4 and have to clean up the patio area on a daily basis. They won't walk on the snow, so the patio, which is a large area gets the brunt of their many treats. Also...
