When did hens start keeping people?

Chickens may act tough, but, if you live where snow accumulates , they'll be at your mercy if you don't shovel it. Ha ha!

I'm actually at the roosters Mercy cause if his hens aren't happy nobody is happy

mine i got trained ya don't start before 7 am, he's seen the other cockerels get sent off, had one jerk that would start a crowing fest at 3 am with the others, then jerk would go back to sleep lol

try doing that when ya got more snow than sometimes a 4x4 can deal with, I decided on using a growing box covered with chicken wire so they cannot get at the roots just gotta figure out how many boxes I need to do of grains plus some veggies they seem to like in buckets , but that makes the guest bedroom none usable too, just change out the boxes and put em back under the light, to grow some more

Been thinkin' 'bout doing the same thing! For now, I've got one of those three-tier toy racks, the ones with different sized bins in them. I just need to figure out how to get the bins stabilized when they're flat. The original design has the bins at a slant, supposedly so the children can put things away easily, but I dunno. My kids always used that slant to pull the toys OUT faster. They never did master the knack of getting everything back in ...
