    What breed is your favorite in your flock?

    What do Yours Eat?

    No, I don't shell them. I get them at the grocery store in the bird seed section. I think they are already shelled. At least the hens eat them and ask for more,;)

    Official BYC Poll: How do you name your pet chickens?

    When I built my coop, it was for only three chickens. I told my two brothers and they too wanted chickens but their wives didn't want them. My wife didn't want chickens either. So I named my three Rhode Island Reds the names of our wives, Irene, Janet and Carol. I think everyone was actually...

    Coop cleanliness

    I haven't seen anything on this, but I may have missed it. I don't get on here often. Has anyone used Kitty Litter under their roosts?

    Do you consider your Chickens Pets or Livestock

    In the beginning they were for eggs only. But every time I go out there, they come running round for a treat. So Guess pets are in the conversation too. I can pet them and they seem to like it. I only have three Black Austrolorp.

    Soft tip on eggs

    These hens are under one year old. I bought them from a guy that hatched them. They all look alike so it's tough to know which one it is. I may have to put colored bracelets on them to id them. Thanks for replying. I can't seem to get pictures to send on this old computer, but will keep trying.
