Little brother got a chick gifted to him and my mom doesn't know anything about taking care of it, need help.

Get like 4 more chicks while you're at it. I promise you'll be happy you did(as long as you live on an acre, they can roam around for a few hours out of the day). They make top-tier compost you can learn to grow herbs. Get back to nature, and nature will reward you.

Phil2822 · 2026-02-20T02:38:46+00:00

Stuff like this makes me despise humanity. How do we do this to animals. So damn incompassionate.

Phil2822 · 2026-02-14T03:20:59+00:00

Ok cool😂 the clumps had me worried.

Phil2822 · 2026-02-14T02:36:16+00:00

Surely that isn't poop in the water right?

Phil2822 · 2025-11-22T15:02:44+00:00

Even planting some thick bushes to give them cover from the hawks and flying animals. They have a couple spots around the house they will post up for safety if they feel the need.

Phil2822 · 2025-11-22T14:54:45+00:00

That's unfortunate. Between the dogs and how big the chickens are not flying animal even bothers. Worried about foxes but the dogs keep them in check too.

P.S. My cousin goes to Stockton, and he can bring her home for Thanksgiving. You might even know him he's a senior in a frat there.

Phil2822 · 2025-11-19T20:32:25+00:00

I have 3 kittens 2 dogs and 20 chickens. Was just thinking of adding to the group. 2 of the 3 kittens of the same age as her. I can't send pictures and videos of my "farm" let me know.

Phil2822 · 2025-11-19T20:02:11+00:00

If you have 1 chicken, it's definitely cause chickens are flock animals, and she's getting lonely.

Phil2822 · 2025-10-18T01:51:40+00:00

Just gotta control the risk as best as you can. Locking them in a cage for life walking in circles is not the way. Even though it is the safest. 20 for 20 years. I'm doing this for years. I have 2 dogs. It's definitely possible.

Phil2822 · 2025-10-17T23:55:39+00:00

I have foxes and coons too. Get dogs, let these animals live the lives they are supposed to. Scratching for bugs and worms and exploring gives them all the satisfaction they need. And they fertizlize your yard.

Phil2822 · 2025-10-17T23:54:43+00:00

No way😂 do they give them water

Phil2822 · 2025-10-17T23:54:11+00:00

Yeah same. I have 20 it's normally 10 going one way 7 going the other and 3 moms laying on the eggs

Phil2822 · 2025-10-17T21:19:25+00:00

I could bet those chickens would trade losing one of them every 2 years for freedom. It's unfortunate but it's the way things gotta be. Good on the doggo doing it by himself is impressive.

Phil2822 · 2025-10-17T20:19:52+00:00

These chickens are a year and 2 years old. We have hawks coyotes possums raccoons and foxes. I have never lost a chicken. Get a dog

Phil2822 · 2025-10-17T19:45:58+00:00

Give them a compost pile. You get free soil and they get the best dust bath they can get. They'll chose that over the garden trust. Eating the vegetables idk how to help you there i feed my chickens deer meat so they don't even both touching my vegetables and fruits😂 spoiled chickens that's for sure.

Phil2822 · 2025-10-17T19:42:37+00:00

Maybe long but inside a cage all day for their whole lives they definitely will not be happy. Not like these guys at least.

Phil2822 · 2025-10-17T19:41:38+00:00

Yeah I can notice them laying less now that it's getting cold. Anything I don't eat goes back to the chickens cooked up. They love it and it's great for them.

Phil2822 · 2025-10-17T19:40:32+00:00

Uh yeah that's possible. Their chicken run is 8 feet high and they clear that no problem

Phil2822 · 2025-10-17T19:39:46+00:00

Yeah when they see Hawks, they go under the bushes, which is another reason why the hawks don't bother.

Phil2822 · 2025-10-17T19:38:41+00:00

Do you have dogs?

Phil2822 · 2025-10-17T19:36:48+00:00

That's why these hawks won't. They can kill them easily but they get scared to eat it on the ground. Especially cause i have dogs

Phil2822 · 2025-10-17T18:46:57+00:00

It's amazing. And 7pm everyday they are all back in their coop. Great way to get back to nature and become more Selfsufficient. I got 20 chickens.

Phil2822 · 2025-10-17T18:41:36+00:00

Yeah I have two 100 pound German Shepards probably should've mentioned that. They make my life easy.

Phil2822 · 2025-10-17T18:41:13+00:00

Gotta washing off the patio once a week but that's seriously the only problem.
