What sweet pictures! They look really happy. I enjoyed the captions, too, especially the reference to "the forbidden zone."

May be a stupid question.............but why DO they clip their beaks?

The picture where they are messing around in the greenhouse, I had to take a double take. It looks like there is just one, looking in a mirror, after my double take I realized they are twins. TOO cute.

I bought my eglu from mypetchickens, but I bought my chicks at the feed store came home to a 50/50 mix of pullets and cockerels so it could be worse then clipped beaks.....

At hatcheries or egg factories, they cram the birds into small places, and they peck at eachother, and if they draw blood, the other chickens sortof peck that one to death.
Its a good thing chickens aren't rapists

I like the pics alot!!
Mine have their own chair on the porch and it's wicker too...Obelisk has stripped the legs though...

Wow, I am so glad to see what a clipped beak looks like. Here's a LAME Q: Does this mean they can't be free ranged? I'm thinking of two things, the eating of grasses and the need for self-protection.

You sure have some pretty girls there!
