I keep my raisins in a Tupperware container. On shake of it and all 29 chickens come running as fast as they can from whatever they are doing, even if they are on the nest getting to lay.
Question for all you local peeps....I have three 4 mo girls. Two of them were hatched together and have always been 'budied' up leaving my poor third girl left out and perpetually behind and distressed. So I want to get another chicken to give her a friend. I know it isn't advisable normally to add one chicken at a time into a flock. But being we only have 3 and one is already way lower in the pecking order what do you think? They are out and about all day and only cooped up to sleep. It broke my heart again tonight when I went to tuck them in and Applesauce was all alone roosted away from Cinderella and Cecilia, who were all warm and snuggled up togetherSo the farm I got all three chicks from has silkie hens right now the same age and I am just dying to bring one home!!! If our set up aloud for 5 chicken's I would bring 2 as is reccomended, but it doesn't we can ony do 4 max right now. Any thoughts? Someone please tell me it will be OK and to go get one!!!!
I had a piglett almost drown in a 5g bucket If i had not seen it in the horse trailer the people put her in with a 5g as water she would of Been DOA on her new home arrival . Animals sometimes fall maybe she could not get out . Sorry for your Loss
My littlest chick was the most adventurest on their outdoor outing for the first time today! She is 6 weeks and still so tiny. 
Big chickens those little silkies and bantams, they kept together in a tight group and didn't explore much.
She's pure Faverolles, she's just hatchery quality. There's a HUGE difference between what a Fav will look like from a breeder, vs a hatchery. It's not uncommon for them to be even darker than her.I think the are only two kind of hens that have five toes and one is faveroll. I don't remember what the other is but I am sure she has at least 75% faveroll.lol Yes she doesFive toes on both feet. She's been shampooed too. And with dog oatmeal shampoo from the vet that is guaranteed not to harm her or dry her out. They were both kind of crusty/dirty birds once I got to looking under the feathers. I thought that was something on her beard ...like maybe tar or no clue really. But thats black in her feathers not on them lol
LOL She's kind of bossy. Here's a close up of her getting mad at me for having the camera stuck in her face. I was a little bit worried she might go after me once I realised she was growling at me in a not friendly way ... but after I while I realised she's just bold. And she likes to piss and moan, sorry for the bad language, but that pretty much sums up Gracie lol I think she's a riot!
Favs are awesome!! (Though I am kind of biased)
