Stray chicken. She's a beauty! Need opinions.

You can only do it with brooder chicks. They are in my laundry for the first 5 weeks , once I introduce treats they are all over me. I put my hand in , palm up wiggle my fingers and say " here chicky chicky " before long they are happy to stand with your hand under their belly, giving them a scratch. Now that they are out in the big pen, as soon as they here me calling " here chicky chicky " they run to me. Walk all over my feet and give my visitors a thrill.

Our quiant little rustic coop.

I love the bitties but I'm ready for them to graduate to outdoor quarters. They're messy messy lol

Am trying to teach the babies the "here chicky chicky" when I give them meal worms.

Oh I just found this today and finished it all I love the story of gretel and wish her many more happy, successful broods.

Aww Thank you very much. She is doing great. I'm going to have to start selling the chicks before I'm overrun! Haha

Fabulous tale of a beautiful hen! I have a friend who has game mixes and they are such great moms! Here's a pic of one of his:

Dixie,I think you should start drafting that children's book, " Gretel comes down from the woods "

Where do you even start with something like that? That'd be pretty darn cool... be a children's book author.

Start by making notes from this thread! You can do it! It would make such a cute story even if you did nothing but pass it down!

You've got the basis of your story right here. Go through gloss it up , find an artist that could do illustration s. A local lady here did just that and her book " the coat " is now going into every school in Australia .
