Well, "she was eating" would be an overstatement. She only pecked at it and ate maybe a few pellets once or twice. She ate more when I ground them to fine powder, but still a lot less (maybe 20-30g a day). One more thing I need to ask—I also give them parsley and broccoli (the two vegetables...

Hello @Brooks_ and @SilverBirds, thank you for your suggestion. I tried it and wanted to share some updates. She doesn't seem to like wet foods but eaten only a little. Will it take some time to adjust? Also, can I try anything that's not wet (like soaking in the water) so I don't need to change...

I've two chickens as pets. One of them eats way less than the others. The only thing she eats with pleasure is the millet I purchased as bird feed. On the packaging, it says Parakeet feed. I don't have problems giving it to her, but is it healthy? Can a chicken live on eat without health issues...

Thanks for your response, Azygous. FYI, they have straws in their nests and hemp bedding in their housing. The sleeping coop gets cleaned and the bedding gets replaced by new bedding once in a few weeks. When they were little (around a few weeks old), they had wooden chips for housing for around...

I have two hens as pets. Both are 9 months and 17 days old. One is a Swedish Flower Hen (named Blondie) and the other one is probably Australorp (named Brownie). Brownie started laying at the end of November last year and she is laying continuously almost every day. Blondie hasn't laid eggs yet...

Thanks. They are both Swedish Flower Hens (or roosters If I figured out wrong).

As far as I know, they are both females.

Thanks for the suggestions, especially for plan B (which I'm thinking too). I watched a few YouTube videos and read web posts on ways to figure out the male/female thing. According to the feather and vent sexing, they are both females.

- Yes, I live in an apartment. - The balcony is completely covered by the roof. - It doesn't get much direct sunlight (only a little in the morning). Most of the day there is no direct sunlight. Rain and snow only affect the boundaries. Therefore most of the balcony remains dry. - I'm located in...

Thank you for the suggestions, but as I already bought it so gotta use it. I think it's allowed and no one will complain. The fact is, I tried experimenting with egg hatching and now I've two chicks with a lot of emotional ties. I feel like I've to go on with what I have..

Thank you for your reply. Yes. I bought it already. But I have only two chickens and I don't need to put 4 in there. Will that be enough for 2? Moreover, what do you recommend instead of grass? Should I put hemp bedding there as well? Currently the temperature is around 15° (at night) to 23°...

Hello, I'm new here. I recently started raising chickens as pets. I don't have a garden, so I plan to place them on the balcony. My balcony is quite large (5m×1m). I'm planning to place a chicken coop (see picture with sizes). I've two chickens and I hatched the eggs at home. They are one and a...
