I think that that is Ghee Ghee, am I right? Or am I thinking of something else?

Yes!! It is Ghee Ghee! She is very stubborn now, so she probably wouldn’t go on another walk.

That is very cool! I would imagine any hen at a park would peck at all the yummy things. I wonder how my hens would act a the beach, I might have to try it that soon. Do you get any attention at the beach walking a chicken?
My Eddie has thankfully became potty trained haha, she knows how to hold it for a while. The others are like your silkie hen, which is pretty gross once they start walking around in their stroller and step in it.

Yes I get a lot of attention at the beach! I try to go to less crowded beaches so there are not many dogs and if I see a dog I quickly pick her up. I agree that sounds gross. I’ve heard of chicken diapers have you ever tried those?

Yeah! It was surprising that you actually knew it was Ghee Ghee!! It’s alright! She’s always been a bit naughty. Now I have a Frannie-

Hi all!
I own four wonderful hens and I decided that they should see the world so I bought a double-decker stroller (of course it's pink )

I try to take two of my hens on walks everyday and I have definitely gotten some attention from it. On the first day after I walked my chickens my neighbor came up to me and asked, "I don't mean to pry, but were you walking chickens earlier??" I proudly said yes!

At first, three of my hens didn't like it and pooped everywhere but now they usually will lay down and enjoy the little walk. They have even met some huge dogs (bigger than my golden retriever) and didn't freak out too much.

I haven't taken them anywhere that is out of the way but I want to be able to take some on walks to parks but that means being taken into my car and then going on a walk and all that, probably a lot of poop and stress will happen so I am going to keep practicing with them to hopefully get them ready!

I understand that many people might find this stupid but they are my pets! I have always wanted to spend more time with them and not always have to be in my backyard to do that so why not take them on walks! My best hen friend, Eddie, is turning 9 in March and has arthritis in both of her hocks. Due to this, she can't walk much and usually will just wait for me to come and visit her. She especially loves these walks and I love walking her too.

I will attach photos of the walks with them!

Lol I love this! You’re an amazing chicken mom! Keep it up. I would like to take my 4 hens out too. Maybe next spring. They follow me everywhere so I think I could take them over to my fathers yard to get some variety in picking around. We just got our chickens this April and it’s our first year with them. I am totally in love with all 4 of them. They are so spoiled. Thhttps://youtu.be/m5ZxDC7uwAE

Do your chickens actually follow you? And that is so amazing! I couldn't imagine having all of those animals and walking with them!

Oh yes, they all follow me. The horse walks by me or just behind usually. Sometimes he canters around with the dogs. They all just adore each other. It can get quite noisy too what with all the clucking, mewing, barking and neighing. It’s a shame humans can’t get along like this. One of my fave parts is cat Saffy, runs up a tree & seems to be the look out. It’s comical.

That’s awesome! What does your horse look like?
