I just wanted to write some info here about my chickens to make everyone's day, so here are my four little hen's biographies:
Bertha, the Bossy One:
The picture above is a picture I took of Bertha today, she is going on 7 weeks old.
Bertha has always been the biggest and toughest chicken in my...
Hi,
I just adopted a new female Lion head bun due to my last bun passing from GI Stasis. I want to do as much as possible to avoid the same problem with my new girl. What can I do and what can I feed her to help prevent it from happening again? (She will be mainly an indoor rabbit) I am also...
Yep! My four little ISA Browns are finally 4 weeks old! They grow so fast!! In the first and third picture I am holding one of them, and they have names I just can't remember which one I was holding lol!
I have been waiting to get some Plymouth Barred Rocks for a while, and they had some today at the feed store! I am in LOVE! All three are doing great in the brooder and I’m half tempted to go get some more tomorrow!!
On of my Red Star Chicks, Jeff, didn't want to socialise with her sisters and when I propped a little mirror up in the brooder she went right to it and would sleep next to her "mirror friend." They're 6 weeks old now and she still checks on her mirror friend in a much bigger mirror!
One of my Red Star chicks, Jeff, thinks she is a parrot. When I open the crate the girls are in until the weather clears so they can start staying out in the coop, she immediately flies out and sits on my shoulder, head, or climbs on my back while I clean to "survey."
They are all doing excellent, and their feathers are all growing in very fast. Also, these are some of the sweetest chicks I have ever had! I have posted some pictures of them below as well:

I know a girl who makes super cute customized epoxy tumblers. I was just curious if anyone has had any made that are really cute? Looking for ideas because chickens have taken over my life.

Today we saw snow for the first time, which was all wet because of the day's rain. We loved it! We followed our mommy around the big muddy puddles and ate snow... We even saw a little snowman.
Only Wondering about the red and yellow chicks in the picture the other ones are most likely Easter eggers ( was told Americaunas but doubt it ) but I was told the yellow one is a new hamshire but shes looking a little too yellow or will she become more red as the time goes by. The red one I was...
It happens with all babies...
They grow up!
(JoJo, a baby Khaki Campbell we raised a few years ago. Rest in peace dear)
Empty nest isn't just for growing/grown children- it applies to our baby animals too. Time passes so quickly, and one minute we'e snuggling with them and the next our...
