We have two neighbors that wouldnt tell, and then there is a tarp blocking the back because one day our backdoor neighbor shot something at them. We were in our garage right next to the coop and it hit the garage. But otherwise the neighbor across the street would tell to. So we can only have 5 chickens.
I think you could add them pretty easily! Ill take a pic if you'd like to build something. I think using a dog kennel tray or vinyl flooring would work attached to a frame.
Oh i do the same.. but I also have a parrot! She started screaming when she heard it.. thought it was her people!
Beautiful!! I like the one silkie that looks a bit mille fleur....
Oh man, I really wanna start a mille fleur project but the colour is only in Pekin Bantams here and rare as anything. I thought there wasn't any Silkies in my area at all, so when saw these guys, snapped them up and drove the 1.5 hours to get them. Owner has no idea, just that the little one is crossed with a Pekin... I'm hoping like anything that she is mille fleur and also has some Pekin heritage and got it from there, but it really was a random blind purchase, where the owner said she was "brown" and surely I wouldn't get so lucky. Really a one in a million chance that it would ever happen up here lol. They were all hatched Winter last year, so be about roughly six months now.
Oh congratulations! They r sooooooo pretty! I luv seeing the "waves" in a silkies feathers that makes it look like a teddy bear!
I would love to! Genetically speaking only 25% chance of getting blues with her and so far every one of them (3) have been blue, so maybe I am pressing my luck expecting more!Oh congratulations on the new babies! Do you think you'll keep any of Kana's little blues?
Mine being outside now probably is too warped to try to do anything else with...and the way I "drag" it here n there I'll just admire yours!
WOW!!!Pictures please
Something funny happened. We did have a chives in a pot, such one one gets in supermarkets or health stores. After having read that chickens can eat chives, we decided to give it to them to keep them occupied and placed the pot in their run so they could start to 'work' on it. First day they didn't seemed to be very happy with or impressed by the chives. But then the following two days they gave that little pot a steady haircut till there was just a hedgehog cut left. This weekend we did have soft boiled eggs for breakfast and my egg tasted unmistakeably of chives
We decided that next time we will place chives only for an hour a day in the run
I do have a question - my Brioche always scratches at the waterer (the ring formed part where the reachable water is in) when going to drink. She is the only one doing this (the waterer is such a regular one for chickens, standing elevated on three little legs) - does anybody have somebody doing this, too?
