Longtime lurker, first time poster here. I’ve had my heart set on raising chickens for their sustainably produced eggs and, more importantly, their companionship and quirky, funny, endearing, lovable behaviors.

I think the little awkward teen phase is actually pretty cute and exciting. Is it a boy or girl? Is it the breed you thought it was? Who knows, but they are pretty cute and silly. If you want, please share your awkward teen phase chicks pictures and maybe take a guess at what they are. No...

I'm 21 and my start with the chickens wasn't good. It all started about 11 years ago when i got my very first roosters. I had 5 of them. I was with them every day. They were my best friends and followed me everywhere, they even tried to follow me to school.. I loved all of them. I'd spend every...

Just recently took this picture of our adults coming in after their morning free range time. They line up single file and make a bee line for the coop and then stop at the door and wait for it to be opened for them and then it’s food water and nest box wars. Lol. However, as they are running...
