    Chicken poop normal?

    Half of my chickens poop is very light and loose compared to the rest. I thought I noticed blood last week so I’d been treating them for coccidiosis, it’s been 7 days now. The weather has been very up and down and raining every few days. I noticed one of my chickens standing hunched up. Maybe...

    This chicken was acting suspicious!!!

    This #chicken was acting extremely suspicious. I walk into the room every single day but today he just seemed a little bit more odd. The chickens were all staring at me as if I were someone weird, but one #rooster had jumped up on top of the chicken coop and started crowing!! I thought it was Hilar

    Peace and tranquility

    Is it just me? Or is it just relaxing to deal with chickens. Cleaning their coop. Feeding them. I get a sense of calmness and peace when I’m with them. Watching them. They look and sound like dinosaurs 😂 when they walk. They follow me around as I walk with their crocking sounds… I love my babies...
