My "farm" house

Sorry to blow your thread up, but...
If you have small kids, you may want to consider a couple of silkies for them. Silkies are really small, and more like pets then chickens. Mine would see me walk across the yard, and chase me down. If I sat on the ground they would run up to me just to see if I had a treat. If I didn't, they would just hang out and scratch right beside me.
I have a 2.5 year old daughter, and the silkie is the only thing she isn't scared of.

You will not believe me. But the point-of-lay chickens are doing exactly the same. They were for sure helping us plant all the new fruit trees

WELCOME to BYC, the friendliest forum on the net I used to love fishing, but here in California, it costs to much in License fees, enhancement fees, entrance fees, parking fees, boat fees....fees, Fees, FEES. Now I enjoy staying home relaxing with my feeless chickens. Hey, maybe I might name one of my chickens "Nofie"

Hi and welcome to BYC We're so happy you've decided to join us
Some of my chickens and most of my Turkeys like to help or supervise, the ducks just walk circles around me asking what I'm doing.

Introducing children to caring for animals is one of the best gifts you can give them. Good for you!

Chickens love to help you garden, with each turn of the shovel you bring up tasty bugs for them to snatch. Welcome to the Backyard chickens flock
