Hopefully I won't have to nurse an injured chicken but I will. I really loved my first flock but these 5 hens are all so affectionate. They will be coming inside if needed.

I have a a couple of questions about diaper care. They're reusable right? How do you have a separate wash area for this? I looked at some pictures of a chicken diaper, not to dissimilar from putting on a chicken saddle. I had to use them on my first flock. These hens I have now are just the...

That's one tough chicken ! :-D

I'd get a kick out of that. My cat and little dog aren't up on their chicken manners.

I'm intrigued buy the idea of a house chicken. I have 5 girls. They started laying just this week. This is my second flock. This time no roo. They are the sweetest chickens. I can pick them up any time pet them talk to them. My husband likes them because they are outdoor pets. He likes the...

I find it very interesting that chickens like to live in the house. My mother had a duck once that got picked up once and taken inside just for fun one day and that was it. He came in daily to sit on someone's leg. Funny duck. My little flock of 4 live in their coop. No room in my little house...

The "pond" I'm talking about was right off Chocolate Bayou. It wasn't man made. Step dad fished in it mom raised ducks there. It was about 10 feet from the sliding door. No one lives by it anymore owners did away with the rent trailers. This was in 88. The duck, named Duck sure wanted to live...

Cute. My mother used to buy some baby ducks and put them on this small lake behind her trailer house. Really just a very large pond. Anyway one year she picked up a white one and brought him inside just for the fun of it. Well it seemed he enjoyed standing on our leg visiting at the table. He...

I think you are right about comparing to keeping a parrot. I had a yellow nape amazon parrot. You have to manage poop. Birds poop a lot. I had a neighbor who taught his parrot to say BOMBs AWAY every time he pooped. The bird ended up living on the porch. I would think you could get a large...

Every time I go in to scoop litter and check on things I feed my girls meal worms from my hand. They've been getting meal worms from my hand since I brought them home. A+, great name!!

Hello, I have 2 RIRs and 2 Buff Orpingtons. They are 15 weeks old. It's my first time raising chickens. I got them when they were 4 weeks. Some sites say if you want eggs it's best to get pullets that are about ready to start laying. I wanted younger birds. Yes, I want eggs but that's not the...

That's strange ( in a nice way ) wish mine would get that attached

I'm not being judgemental. I pick up my chickens inside their coop and had to come in and clean up a healthy dose of poo off my clothes. Just curious. I tell people if they don't like animals, don't come to my house. I hope I'm able to develope a good bond with my chickens but hubby draws the...

I totally love animals. I have 2 dogs and a cat that live inside. I have 4 chickens in a coop outside. I'm doing my best to pamper them, hand feed them treats hold them as much as they will tolerate. But as we all know, chickens poo where ever they go. How do you deal with that issue? I'm not...
