I have two dogs, a Shiba Inu mix (10) and a Husky mix (18 mo.) and both are respectful of my chickens. The shiba was very interested in the birds at first and I was worried that his small-animal prey drive would be an issue, but I allowed him to be on leash when the chicks were out grazing. Soon...

No mask for me. I have a very small coop with a bedding drawer that gets cleaned once a week, it's a bit dusty but I usually stand upwind of where I'm working. I do a deep litter method with construction sand in the run and usually just spot clean that every morning/ whenever it looks gross...

I have four in my flock, all a few months shy of a year old. I feed fermented grower feed (with some mix-ins) 24oz per day free choice. Sometimes they eat every scrap and sometimes they leave 4-8oz when they go to sleep (though with longer days, they tend to finish their food more often). I also...

I am a very avid reader, currently working my way through the Wheel of Time series, I'm on Book 9 right now. I like to read books in tandem as well, and usually work on two books at once. I read my 15-book goal in 2023 and was very happy to do so. I have always loved to write and have a BA in...

Haha, thanks for the heads up but I know that there's some...adult themes in BG3...but I am and adult myself (almost 35!) so I'm here for it haha

Haha Ashley and Kaiden who? :tongue No I haven't played Dragon Age yet, don't know much about it. I want to get into Baldur's Gate 3 soon...more video game boyfriends (and girlfriends)!

I have played No Man's Sky! I thought it was really fun and I liked the sandbox feel to the gameplay. I also liked that it's cross-platform and I could play with people on different consoles/PC. I started Mass Effect trying to be a badass using the "Ruthless" responses, but I quickly got...

I have played video games on and off over the years, my first console was an N64. Love to play console, handheld, and PC games; played A LOT of Red Dead Redemption 2 and RD Online. Currently I am obsessed with my Switch and playing several games in tandem; Animal Crossing New Horizons, Cozy...

Just looked those up, I suppose my hen could be a Starlight...her ears are light blue/green. So cool, thanks!

I have a Welsummer (I think) who lays green eggs, not brown like the breed usually does. I was thinking maybe she's mixed, but she looks just like every other Welsummer I've seen.

That is so sweet! What a nice flock of friends :love

Wow I'm thrilled that I was chosen as a winner. Congrats to everyone else, your hobbies were all very cool! 🤩

I just love listening to my girls' different voices. My Australorp sounds like a low tea kettle or like she's trying out for the choir. The Welsummer sounds hoarse and has a soft voice until she sings her egg song, then it sounds like she's being murdered. My RIR is the loudest and make sit seem...

My hobby is cake decorating. I love to bake and about 7 years ago I was lucky enough to land a job at a local bakery where the owner taught me everything I know. I have left the bakery life behind me but I still make cakes for friends and family and have been commissioned for several parties and...

I Attached the HC to our run from the outside, mostly to allow for more interior space in our small run. I was also worried about the chickens getting caught on the sharp edges. I think it looks nicer too.

I don't wash eggs unless they are really scummy looking, and if I do it's straight into the fridge. I usually keep about 6 eggs unwashed on the counter and cycle into an 18-count carton in the fridge, where I practice first-in-first-out rotation. Helps me keep track of which eggs are freshest...

Like @FalseToast, I have seen a lot of people (mostly over on Instagram and TikTok) who add different herbs (usually dried) to their chicken's feed for health benefits. It's interesting that people here send out a resounding 'No' on herbs in the feed for chicken health...but that's the internet...

Welcome to the flock :p

I have a Salmon Favorelles and she is beard-/muff-less too! I noticed when I first got her her beard was always dirty and wet, it seems like the other hens decided to clean her up? She doesn't seem to mind the naked face. 🤷‍♀️

I have checked several times over the last week, and every morning her crop is completely empty.
