Thank you for not making me feel like a crazy person. I’m so glad I found this awesome chicken community, I’ll need help keeping myself between the ditches from time to time. If I ever make a post about crocheting them little hats-please STOP me!
Thank you so much for the encouragement! I didn’t want chicken pets. Of course I read all the things keeping them safe and healthy, but I just wanted fresh eggs. Now if you excuse me I have to go feed my chicken babies green beans while I sing Queen songs for them..don’t want them getting...

Hi! I’ve got 4, 5 week old RSLs. They’ve been and still are in my LIVING ROOM. They’ve been in a brooder, and I took the heat lamp out a couple days ago. They’re about 75% feathered. And it’s 76 degrees in here. For the past 2 nights when I turn the out the light (we still have a dim lamp on)...
