I think they love you too
I love it when chickens run! Cute video. (and we have the same tricycle!
I wimped out today. I could not trim my chickens scissor beak, not my thing. I took her to my vet and had him do it...LOL He has chickens himself and is a Avian bird specialist. They shortened the lower beak so it fit under the top beak which curves downward and is pointed. It did bleed a bit and was painful when he did it but he put something on to stop the bleeding. Now she can close her beak. I think she will feel better in the long run. He said that the scissor beak would of gotten worse as the lower beak grew wider and bigger it would of pushed the top beak more and more to the side.Chicken beaks do not grow as fast as other birds. She is about a month or so away from laying eggs, still young.

i have 17 ducks(at the moment) and 13 chickens. the ducks have kiddie pools that are moved daily and dumped/filled daily to water the lawn. i have 3 different areas for the animals, all have giant waterers, tons of shade, misters in 2 of them. they all free range from morning until my dogs want out(around 1 or 2pm) then they get locked up into their own runs. the yard is fairly large. my biggest predators here are hawks. they came in pairs last week. big massive red ones!
