I love your flock. Keep posting pictures. I will never get tired! Welcome to BYC. It's great to have you here.

Thank you!!! I'm happy to be here. I love these chickens. I love seeing everyone's pictures and stories, and ESPECIALLY the vast amounts of helpful info on coops, runs, common medical issues, the uncommon... This place is a wealth of knowledge.

There once a “BYC Sewers Thread” and I misread the title and thought it was the “BYC Sewers Thread” as in SEWAGE!

Good morning from four teenagers who hate me, but I love them so much. View attachment 2437702

This is what I always see in chickens.


The babies- Most are attention monsters that want me to notice them.

The babies that are old enough to live in the coop- They all hate me suddenly, sometimes one or two might like me though.

4-Month-olds (egg time)- They start to beg for treats and become spoiled. I give them apple slices, scrambled eggs, and lettuce to them by hand and they start to love me again. Eventually allowing me to pet them and pick them up as long as I am holding a treat until they just want attention after a few weeks of handling.

Winter- Cabban Fever and they flipping hate me again.

Spring- Time to start over with most of them again and build up their trust.

Over the fricken MOON this morning, during free range time Bar became a lap chicken, for the first time ever, completely of her own accord!!!!! And she let me pet her!!! Oh my GAWD!!!!!!

(Edited, badly, for no face because it was extremely unflattering. My partner does not understand angles and the human face.)

I took this through the hardware cloth. We built them a short ladder for various roosting heights, and then I stole a branch from a tree that fell recently and brought it into the run, attached it to the ladder. Multiple roosts! Fun things to jump on! Looking super cute while doing it!

Sorry for the picture quality in advance. Someone is very unhappy with me for being inside, and not outside actively handing out treats.

Photo dump time! Though some are repeats from other threads.

Watched the big girls square up with the winter song birds. Bar chased a cardinal out of the yard. They can't fly very high or far, but she defended the heck out of the territory.
Does anyone else's birds pick fights with wild birds?

I BRIEFLY HAD A SHOULDER CHICKEN!!!!! Bar was on my lap for the second time ever today. I thought she was about to hop off, but instead hopped to shoulder.
