From egg to chick!

Eggs was the original reason we got chickens, but they proved to be more of pets thereafter . . .

Pretty much. I go sit in the chicken area. Just feels therapeutic

Is that one the same neighbour who keeps their cockerel free, the one who hangs out with your boy?

 

[ElfenLied89]

Oh so we're saying chicken numbers now? If @ElfenLied89 gives the green light, I'm in!

Pretty sure yall have more than I do! Lol.

Yup. They built a coop area. But apparently they got out. That's how I found Kithara wandering around. They told me the black one got away too. Wildlife was happy. They aren't getting anymore babies from me. I prefer to give them to someone else.

Not normally! Right now I do, but still not too many. I'm at 33 currently!

Aww, I'm so sorry . I think you're making the right choice not giving them any more birds

Who gets chickens and doesn't have it secure so they don't escape? They aren't as big as they look. Most of that fluff is feathers. Ugh.

Byw Kithara has decently reintegration into the flock. No more bullying but they make sure he knows he isn't at the top of the food chain.

That's good news!

I don't understand how people can't do something as simple as secure a pen.
