Hi, everyone! I just saw this and had to share

That is so cute! But maybe having her on a chicken harness leash to get exercise would be better for her? Anyway, at least she's somewhat protected in the stroller should a dog suddenly rush out of nowhere!

May I ask, does he crow while shopping?

Usually I carry him and he doesn't crow but he makes all kinds of little crackles and cooing noises. It's really cute l talk to him when he does that. We picked out the baskets and pots I needed went back for a cart and loaded up.

I put his diaper on so he doesn't make a mess. You could sew a little ring on the back and hook a leash to that. That's what I am going to do. If I put him down he won't run off. But nice addition to his diaper just in case. I use Diapers by Sky. I posted pictures of a few. I have 3 different sizes.
For my crew.

Hi everyone! I never thought it would come to this, but I have house chickens...so here I am, lol. My chicken story starts with my cat bringing home a week old baby chick from who knows where. We looked for its appropriate home but had no luck and were even turned away by the nearest chicken properties. So, there we were with the sweetest little chick I named Nugget. I found backyard chickens and was advised to get it some buddies so we did. So now we have Nugget, BigBird, a polish bantam, and Chicken Little, a sultan bantam. Nugget turned out to be a barnyard mutt roo. Fast forward to 16 weeks and they have all been raised indoors. The small bout they got with their outdoor coop was cut short by the 115-120 degree(in the shade) summer days we've had here in Phoenix. They just can't handle it. So I ended up turning a spare bathroom into an indoor coop until it starts to cool off. We are adapting! I too have just purchased diapers from Amazon. They have waterproof lining so all you have to do is rinse them out. So far so good! My husband has gotten pretty good at getting them on Nugget. I did however buy some of those plastic bra strap converters to help hold the straps in place on his back because Nugget learned quickly how to get out of it. Here's a handful of pics of our unconventional chicken raising.

I love that they are in the bath tub...LOL! I have one house chicken and we ADORE her!!!

I have Nigerian dwarf they are a milk goat so thinner than pygmy they are heavier.

Anyone else ever find themselves feeling a little guilty? I'm pretty sure Nugget knew exactly what was happening. He screamed as I put it in the pan.

Hi, I have a unexpected rescued young chicken inside too! This is my first post and I'll admit, I don't know hardly anything about chickens but this baby has me wrapped around her/his little claw. I've had (we call her Precious) for a month now, she's messy but I love her. I'd like to ask if anyone has any tips on how to bond with a chicken? I desperately want her to trust me but she's scared of everything. Also, can anyone tell me if she's a he or am I right calling her Precious? Any kind of advice would be very much appreciated! :cd

Hi Metal Chick and welcome! Well, Precious IS precious!!! I love her coloring! As for bonding ... I have an indoor pet turkey and what worked is constant lap time, petting of the feathers, treats, talking and playing ... Enjoy her!
