When Finn was in the house, he mostly got his pellets but sometimes I'd cook him up one of the hens eggs or share my dinner with him.

Sometimes. He still attacks me but not as much, I think he has calmed down with all of these hens to keep him in place!

OMG! Our Tetras (now all named- Poppy, Georgie, Chrissy, and Elliot) have been laying like CRAZY! I've been getting about 1-2 eggs a day now from them which is actually a lot, considering this time last month we were getting 0 eggs a day!

I only changed Finn's diaper once a day, or when it was full.

Another one today! I saw it come out of her vent which was gross, but i'm so glad they're laying! I compared it to an Australorp egg that was just laid and the Australorp one was 3x bigger almost!

It's possible to train a chicken to poop on a newspaper or in their cage, but I heard its hard and they'll be running back and forth all day. Diapers are the easiest things, for you and the bird. When I got them, they were about $15 each which was pretty good.

We got a Tetra egg!! It was kind of a circle-ish shape, but bumpy. I'm so excited!

Aww, she is adorable!!

Haha!

We've gotten 2 eggs from 4 so far, but that was last month. They better pick up the pace lol

Kinda both. We have 4 Tetra Tint pullets (like I said), they're about 20 weeks and should start any minute, I hope! I hope you get egg soon, too! The only hen that we have that's not laying is Speckles, but even then she lays about an egg a month, sometimes more.

Thanks! Our 4 chicks we just got from them are Japanese Bantams- I've seen their mothers (and the father!). Sadly barely any of our chickens are laying lol. The only ones that are are my 3 Australorps and my one PR hen. We get about 3 eggs a day at most, and we have 19 chickens total! We have a...

Thanks! We live in Central/Western Maine. We usually buy our chickens and ducks from Craigslist or Facebook groups, but we bought 4 baby chickens from a farm and 4 Tetra Tint pullets from Tractor Supply. Yup. Besides him, we have 4 baby chickens from them, too!

This is the best pic I have of Finn. I'm pretty sure he is an American Game x Japanese Bantam, since that's what the neighbors have. The next chickens I get, I really want to be Hamburgs. Specifically, GSH, or SLH. I still want to breed them, too!
