I had my beautiful girls ever since 5 years ago and they are the sweetest floofies ever. Every morning when I go outside they would follow me all around and start pecking me until I give them cuddles. I would be sitting down and both of them jump on my lap the moment I sit down and we falll...
1 of my 3 bantams ended up a roo but we love him so we just have a tiny rooster. Is it a bad idea to add just 1 more pullet or do I need to add 2? The 3 I have are about 6 months.
Also, none of our 3 really like to be held. The roo did till he started getting teenage grumpy but the 2 pullets...
So I have two gorgeous Australorps which I hatched. They were raised together just the two of them until they were 4/5 weeks old when they joined 2 older hens. Now one is a rooster and it's set to move in with a family friend on property as a pet without other chooks. However, they are still the...

Just a friendly photo of the sweetheart in my flock. This is ‘Teddy Bear’ aptly named. She’s a twelve week old ee and loves cuddles. Reply back with pics of your sweetest guy or gal I’d love to see them!

Okay, so, a few of our flock of 7 hens (about 20 weeks old now) REALLY love to get their bellies rubbed, in particular my Barred Rock and Easter Egger. It literally puts them into a lull--they'll let their wings droop, dozily chatter, and start to fall asleep no matter the time of day. Often...
I am new to owning chickens, ours were born this past April (27 to be exact). So they are fairly young. They all let me hold them, some more happily than others, but only one will lay on me like this, and not for long. I would like to get them to like being held more, or be more friendly and...
Hi guys, it's been a few weeks since I brought home Edison and Mayo. They get along with the chickens no problem and now they seem to know who I am when I come into the enclosed run. Problem is, they still won't greet me, come to feed on treats near me and especially be held. They scream and...
