me + my chicken=eternal happiness.

[supercalliefragilistic]

well, we have 3 chickens. they are all friends and are currently living in a big cage in our greenhouse, stinking it up, while we are building our coop. its taking wayyyy too long to get completed, we just havent had the time! when im at school and stuff, she hangs out with them and is fine. but when im home she comes out!

and school is FINALLY out (weell monday is a half day, but i get out before 10 30, so that doesnt really count...haha). summer is here!

happy birthday!

PS: do you ever have to clean up after your chicken?

 

[supercalliefragilistic]

yes, i do have to clean up, kind of a lot. she has a diaper but hates it, because she is still growing and its not the right size so it fits her uncomfortably. soo basically she can *go* wherever she wants. when im holding her, and when she is in my bed, she will not. she has a rabbit cage in my room with food and water, and she goes a lot in there, but sometimes she goes on the floor and i pick it up with a napkin/tissue and throw it in the garbage or her cage. MOST of her poop is hardish and i just pick it up and go. but, sometimes they are gross and wet and stink! so i have to use vinegar and carpet cleaner. also, she kinda sheds, like has dandruff? so i have to vacuum a bit more. but its not that big of a deal

Those are actually feather casings. Chickens that are growing new feathers have them. When she preens, she pulls them off. At her age, she probably has a lot.

well, yeahh i know about the feather casings but didnt know if everyone else knew. lol. she has a ton right now! i thinks shes going through a growth spurt. or....a feather spurt?

Well, whenever I take my pet rooster anywhere (he goes everywhere with me when the weather is nice) I try to clean those up. It grosses some people out for some reason.

Very touching

I wish everyone loved their chickens as much as you do. I would do the same thing with mine, but my parents wont let me... you have one, I have seven.
