Call Ducks or Bantams...Crazy Animals Around the Farm

All meat is. My Ameraucanas went nuts for leftover beef. Bloodthirsty little things.

I’d try that but I don’t think my mom would be happy with me

The girls have opted to stay in the henhouse for now, even though it’s sunny out. I think I’ll see if I can put the other coop together now. Be back soon View attachment 1289339 View attachment 1289340 View attachment 1289341 View attachment 1289342

While we were out today, we stopped at a place than sells built sheds and coops. Nicely built. My husband thinks I should just invest the money as it has everything - no mods needed. It is quaker style and they have two sizes 5x6 and 6x8. So, what size to get? The price isn't much different. However, I am afraid to get too big with only 4 chickens. My max really is about 7- 8. I promise otherwise it would be a waste to have more chickens. So, decisions...decisions.
I should probably also figure out a secure run - not just the open cattle panel right? As I call that my free range. Lol. I don't think they build runs, but I am going to call tomorrow to see if they do or if they have someone that can. I am giving up on the diy. Except the playhouse. That seems like too much fun!

Wendy and Albastru absolutely love turkey! Now I know what to use do get them to follow me around. My dad has cut down on eating chicken from the store and he told my mom to cut down on the amount of chicken she buys I’m so close to getting his ok to raise 3-4 cockerels for meat this summer

I just use dehydrated mealworms. I put them in a small container and shake it, the chickens follow me everywhere. I also give a little click sound when they hear that they come running!

6X8 I would get...Then it's a roomy Coop for nest boxes and Roost...

My previous flock went crazy for them, but so far Wendy & Albastru aren’t interested in them

They like cooked turkey. There was some in the fridge that no one was going to eat and I remembered that @BantyChooks I believe said that turkey is a good source of protein for chickens. So I gave it to them.

Mine love turkey, chicken, beef, eggs. They are very carnivorous.

They show no real interest in fried eggs or fried egg yolks or even tomatoes I think my chickens are broken
