Also randomly i'm pretty sure my black australorps like ava max because they follow me when I'm singing her

today I had to help my Polish roo off the roost because he always gets up there and is scared to get down *big chicken*, help a half-blind chicken down *I don't know how she gets up there in the first place*, and gave them some scratch grains.

Hmmmm magic chicken?

*Note: My single white Leghorn, Astrid, sneezes like crazy every single time I throw scratch for them because the dust gets in her nose XD I was actually worried for respiratory reasons, but she seems totally fine so its very funny*

Chickens sneezing is the weirdest yet funniest thing

A Light Sussex mumma called “Cleopatra” and her Coronation chicks: Eidelweiss, Snowflake, Misty, Smudge and Butterbean.
Here is a photo of their new pen and clean coop. If you zoom in on the sign on coop, you may get a laugh. My elderly funny dad bought it for us. They are much bigger now than the photo with their mum. The last most recent photo is a chick up close and from yesterday afternoon. It’s autumn here in Australia but everything is green due to warm weather and lots of rain.

Ooh, that a pretty bird! And a massive chick

Yea I thought she was pretty massive for 5 weeks too. But I wasn’t sure as I don’t have anything to compare them to. They are are a medium- large chicken anyway.

Ummm. I don’t know what’s going on then? I did offer them lots of protein options as supplements to help feather them up before Winter…

It seems to have worked!! The chicks I've had since January aren't as big as that!!

What breed are yours though?
(I do find that regular mealworms and regular scratch mix assists growth- usually twice daily for scratch and once for protein. I actually bought a mealworm pod today so I can raise my own). Maybe you can try adding this to your chicks diet and observe any observable differences- such as feathering up quicker and rate of growth.
