    We have chickens

    Got the boy six for Yule/Christmas. Cutest little things. We can't have roosters so we will have to wait and see.

      There's nothing better than eggs straight from the chicken's butt.

        Chicks are adorable.

            I know you requested it locked but I like the talk about chickens so I'm giving this thread one more shot. I've removed the off topic posts.

            Moving forward, keep this on topic, people! Or start your own thread.

              And silkies are pretty adorable, too.


              I wish I could keep some, but the other inhabitants of my apartment block would probably prefer to keep the back lawn.

                Re: We have chickens

                My Dad has chickens that are my "nephews". Everyday come rain or shine if my nephew is at Papa's house he goes and feeds his chickens and collects their eggs. We are never on short supply of eggs. I love fresh eggs. I can't say I personally want a chicken coup but I have no problem buying fresh eggs from someone. My Dad takes a large amount of them to a low income senior citizen housing development once a week and sells a dozen eggs for a dollar to anyone who wants them. He then puts the money in a saving account for my nephew.

                  That is sweet. We have all kinds of places around her would like free or cheap eggs. I will keep that in mind.

                    It's probably a ways off for me, but one day, I'd like to have chickens. Just like...four of them. Or maybe six.

                      I had chickens as a kid and really miss having them. Then I ended up rescuing two ducklings... so now we have fresh duck eggs and two of the sweetest, most loving ducks you can imagine.

                      I don't think we'll do ducks AND chooks until we have a larger property, but I would recommend backyard chooks to anyone. Except if you need to keep your lawn pristine. Ducks don't ruin the lawn badly though, unless you have them on the same patch 24/7.

                        We live two streets over from the river and had considered ducks but with all the animals on the Island we were afraid they would get killed. The chicks we can put in the coop at night.

                          We used to coop our ducks, and we cooped geese & peafowl as well. We have to here - to many carnivorous critters.
                          Every moment of a life is a horrible tragedy, a slapstick comedy, dark nihilism, golden illumination, or nothing at all; depending on how we write the story we tell ourselves.

                            Would ducks and chickens get along in the same coop?

                              Yes, no problem.

                              But don't mix geese with smaller birds (you can have one, to act as "mother") because they tend to trample smaller birds with their big flappy feet.

                              P.S. I prefer duck eggs to chicken eggs
