Note to self - chick raising 101

[gritsar]

Note to self: When you are wearing a pink bandaid on your pinkie finger, never stick your hand in a pen full of always hungry chicks.

and all I got here are Dora bandaids for the kids.... guess a trip to the Dollar General is in order

 

[gritsar]

Funny part is the bandaid is covering an actual bona fide chicken bite. My half blind hen missed when I offered her a piece of bread and almost took my fingernail off. *ouch*

 

[Critter Crazed]

So true

 

[TheMadChickenLady]

Too True!

This rule also applies to painted fingernails and toenails...
Flip flops in the chicken coop are a VERY bad idea!

 

[thefishery]

For future information, don't wear fluffy yarn crocheted flip flops when going out to feed the flock. They'll chase you through the yard back into the house.

I have one chicken, Professor McGonnagal, who doesn't "take nice"

also never wear shoe laces into the coop / run....I was running behind and wore my running shoes into the coop to refill their feeders. they tried making off with my shoe laces and when I bent down to re-do my laces one tried to take my glasses!!! Pullets are crazy funny sometimes!!

I bought several EE hens at a local swap meet last weekend. 4 of them came together & are about 4 mo. old. Whoever had them before me, hand fed them to death! I will go out & feed, & the 4 will follow me around. I have 6 pens to feed, & throw food in front of them all the way through feeding. They won't eat unless I hold a handful of food for them, & then they attack it like they're starving,& trying their best to get a piece of finger flesh for dessert.
