With the way mine go crazy over blueberries, I think they do have tastebuds!

Thank you for your always good advice. I will do this. My assumption is she is fine but I'm still new at this!

Love this

Hey chicken family! I have an 8 week old Welsummer chick that doesn't act like the rest of my chickens. I also have two other 8 weekers and four 14 weekers. When I let them out of their coop, the others are so excited, foraging, and running around the yard. She does this for a few minutes but...

These are beautiful!

Good job. Hard decision.

This is making me eggcited!

Make sure to check laws on relocation. Sometimes you are not allowed to relocate a trapped animal.

They are naturally weaning themselves off the heater, which is super great! Just like they would with mama hen. You're doing a great job. Also, lots of folks watch their chicks though a camera, so I don't think you're crazy at all!

Thanks so much for your help!

Right now they are all in the coop together at night and during the day and free range when we are at home. We are in the PNW and it just stopped raining/flooding so we can begin building the run. I probably didn't execute the best timing for the integration since this is my first time having...

Good article!

I know this is an older thread, but I'm hoping to re-liven it since this exact scenario is happening to me. I have a Houdini chicken getting over her barrier to where the older chickens are. They pecked her pretty good and her comb got injured last night because she couldn't get to safety. My...

This is so cool! Mine are only about 4 months old but I love hearing these stories!
