I have the nastiest little batch of chicks. It doesn't matter what I reach down for at their level, one of them will come over out of no where and latch onto my hand or arm. They have even tried biting my leg!! It makes it easy to decide who is going to be dinner first.

Be careful making that decision. They usually grow out of it. They do it because they are scared. Are they just being floor aggressive? Do they act nasty when you are holding them? If that is the case it should go away.

Just got two barred rocks this weekend, both two years old (I wanted to get some big birds while my pullets are growing) and they were SO big!! One is giant and I can barely lift her, and all of my chicks are so scared of her lol, but she seems harmless/ confused as to why they run from her.
So, I am up to nine chickens. Should be down to seven since I am pretty sure I have 2 roos, at least. But I want a silkie so bad! I thought they looked dumb but the guy who sold me the rocks had one and it was the cutest thing. I already have too many birds.

Sorry about the two posts, I can't figure out how to quote two different posts when they are on separate pages... ?

Ugh... Kodie, my dog, just brought me a baby bird with 2 broken legs... Seems strong and healthy though, other than the legs... What do I do!!

Paranoid or normal? My little roo looks like his comb is not as red as it was (more pink today). He's seems fine. Eating and drinking doing all the normal chicken stuff. I checked for mites but didn't see any. Is this common or should I be concerned?

Ok compost friends! This is my composter

This is the water that drains out when I wet it down. Can I safely use this on my garden without killing anything?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Yes use it to water your garden.
In my opinion you are making it too wet and cooling it down.
I am not an expert!
