    Question of the Day - Sunday, May 12th, 2024

    12 close friends! One from work, five from online, five from high school and one lifelong best friend. I'm pretty introverted, but a small section of my teenage friend group has stayed pretty close knit :wee

    Gave the coop a much needed deep clean today. A steel brush is a godsend to have! :wee

    Hollyhocks and sunflowers! 🌻 (Even though the hollyhocks are impossible to kill if you don't want them somewhere, haha.)

    Broody ladies!

    One of my hens went broody a week or so ago, and now another one has followed her. I'm still deciding whether to give them chicks to hatch or not, but for now I wanted to share the pictures. They look so silly all puffed up! I'm getting some MAJOR stink-eye in the second one, haha.

    Topic of the Week - Dogs and Chickens

    My dog is a boxer, and he has unfortunately killed a couple chickens in his time. He was socialized with them when they were chicks, allowed to watch them and sniff them if he was calm. Admittedly, he probably should have been (and probably should be) trained better. Up until recently the flock...

    This photo immediately came to mind! Shenanigans from when these girlies were still integrating into the flock.

    Hey y'all! Excited to learn more here!

    Sure do! I've started letting these girlies roam around more of the yard, they're loving it. I also added a couple of orange sex links to the flock last year. They're like two peas in a pod! We named 'em Ducky and McCrispy. (Ducky's the smart one. Adventurous and feisty haha.) Edit: Hopefully...

    Waterer out of a trash bin!

    Thank you! I'll be watching out for that. If worse comes to worse I'll either get a new lid or cover the screen up haha.

    Coming back to respond a year later, haha. I was a big fan of the Boxcar Children books when I was a kid.

    Waterer out of a trash bin!

    Hello BYC community! I haven't posted in a long while, but I am back again. Me and my dad finished this new chicken waterer today. It looks a bit rachet, but I'm hoping it'll work well. He convinced me to use a large garbage bin instead of the smaller bucket I was originally thinking of, so...

    (WARNING!! Graphic!) Chicken with her head and neck missing. Unsure of what killed her.

    One of our flock of five died today. My sister spotted the body on the porch away from the pen after dark. I hadn't had time to check up on the chickens today beforehand because I was working. Her head is completely missing, as is most of her chest, no other chicken parts scattered around. No...

    Hey y'all! Excited to learn more here!

    Ello! I've taken up the mantle of taking care of my family's little flock for about a year now. I've been slowly working on improving our routine and equipment so they can be living as good of a life as possible. It's been difficult for me with health issues n' stuff, but we're getting there...
