I use my guineas for that. They are my guard dogs since my dog doesn’t bark or howl or make any noise at all actually.

Hey I wouldn’t be surprised that is the case! Seasonal layers = freeloaders for some people. I don’t eat geese or ducks so unless I’m rich I don’t need ornamental birds which that is what they would be to me.

Hey hey we bought one of those when we were new 🤣 I so regret that decision and we realized it was so much cheaper to make our own, but that is actually a perfect way to check how many new chicken owners there were this spring 😂

Yes, I think it was a good decision not to allow them to return it. Because it will encourage other customers to think before buying warehouse amount of stuff. Has there been data on how many chicks are being bought by first time chicken owners? I’m curious if chicks are being bought out by...

Was she able to return it? I hope she wasn’t. Teach people to not panic buy. Yes!! Buying chickens is so much better than TP 😆 And what a great way of looking at it!

Oh yes definitely. I don’t doubt some will find a new favorite pet in their chickens. But as with all animals, some will realize it’s not for them. Same when people buy puppies and kittens and rabbits and all sorts of animals. But I think the difference is that chicks require more care than...

Oh no have you heard a lot of stories of chicks dying to new owners? I don’t doubt it if they are panic buying chicks since one could deduct that they’re making an impulse buy without doing any research. And then it’s like they forget it’s still going to be 4-6 months before they get any eggs...

Oh good to know! I remember ages ago I was at a lady’s house and she mentioned how she wanted chickens. She had a huge pool, fancy looking backyard and a large hyper dog. I told her, chickens smell, they’re loud, they require cleaning out poo every now and then, they’ll poop everywhere and...

I didn’t think about the old bedding! I live out in the country too so I just throw it into an unused field that I am gonna turn into my compost area soon. But what about the people in small cities or small properties.

I started chicken owning two years ago. I started because I genuinely thought owning chickens was CHEAPER than store bought eggs. Yeah, silly me. But I love my chickens now despite their cost and work. One thing that comes to mind is cleaning their coop. Some people may not be fans of...

But I don’t doubt some people will get their hearts stolen by these chickens. But that won’t be the case for everyone. As far as delays in shipment and stuff. I had planned on ordering some chickens this year, but I see how backed up they are and decided against it. I’ll wait til next year...

I hope this is not the case, but I really do think a good handful of people will be putting their chickens up for sale after this settles down. My reason for believing this is: taking care of chickens is more expensive and time consuming than buying $2 18-pack of eggs at the store.
