In this video, I will go through the complete process of raising baby chicks from egg to hen. I'll cover everything from hatching eggs, to caring for chicks, to feeding and housing them as they grow into

My intern’s dad, our chicken wizard at Freezer Camp, agreed to take my flock for the duration. He only had a small coop for his flock of 6 – 8 birds, so he would need to build something much larger. This

I call these little bantam Cochins Lawn ornaments. They are pullets in this photo. The two hens have started laying eggs! I also had two roos, I gave the lavender one away. Two roosters in one yard is

I'm looking for the best dual purpose chicken breeds that are docile enough to have small children around... and GO! #chickens #backyardchickens #homesteading #farmlife #share2steem Sustainably Yours Homestead

Recently I made some changes in the runs, consolidating the main flock into one with our big rooster and just keeping the small bantams out in a separate with some sick chickens and this has made things

Soul Sister and a GSL hanging out on the log that holds up their coop. I've got half a mind to let them sleep outside like big girls, but I want to be home to teach them to go to the coop, so not tonight.

Took the chicks outside today! They'll be moving out soon, and I've read that it's good to give them a few hours a day(if it's warm enough) outside to get acclimated. Soon as we came back in, they all

Who taught them to do that?! Soon as this one got up there, the other five craned their necks in amazement and ALL tried the same thing! Nnnnnoooooo!!!! I admit, it was kinda funny seeing half a dozen

I wanted to post a quick follow up to our dinner. As you can see we pulled all the meat off the bones (including all the good meat in the head) and left behind bones, fins, skin, and connective bits. Now

We want food to be produced in cleaner, healthier ways. We think that farms should not be factories. We believe so much we now have 4 chickens in our backyard. And this is how that happened: It was 7 am,
