How exciting! Our coop isn't finished yet, but we still have time. Our ladies have just moved outside to a converted rabbit hutch. So glad to have my guest bathroom back!

I have been feeding my hens a "salad" everyday as a treat- chopped up greens, cabbage and some chopped apple- they LOVE this! Do you all feed your chickens "treats" and what do you feed them? I am just wondering if there is something out there that our southern birds particularly like! (I think they like the salad I make them because it is cool-- when it is so warm outside!)

I completely agree mine was the guest bedroom... If I do chicks again they will be out in the coop! They are all out there as of this a don't know how long the grass will last but they are having a ball.!

hey you guys, I'm having some issues! And I know you guys can relate since we're from Alabama!

The heat has been pretty bad (I live in Etowah county)

How can I keep my poor chickens cool? this is my very first experience with chickens. They're almost 50 days old and are outside in their coop. They have shade and water. But they lay sprawled out in the dirt and pant really heavy. I feel so bad for them.

Is there anything I can do???

Hmmm I hate say it but mine LOVE mashed hard boiled eggs and well the most excited I've ever seen them was when I gave them steak scraps from my dinner

Mine love cheese. They go frantic over cheese and don't give a crap about mealworms!!! They also like scrambled eggs but not as much as cheese.

I'll have to try cheese!

I'm trying to teach them to step up on my arm on command and when they do they get cheese
