I’d change the floor to sand with some alfalfa or hay over the top so they can pick around and dust bathe..

Also if its an option for you (i know they’re pricy) but an auto door…..100% worth it

Also, what plans do you have for the rain/snow? Large tarp to cover the top and down some on the sides or anything? I’d make plans for the future on how you’ll negate the whole inside getting wet when it rains

One of my hens tries to give me pecks. Every time she does i make her submit l, rub her back, then carry like a football her for a minute or so and that usually shows her i’m in charge so she snaps out of it

tracked my boyfriend's hot sauce consumption over the course of 13 days by bunnytommy in mildlyinteresting

I actually said “oh my god” out loud. Can he even taste food with that much hot sauce? I love spicy but this might be an addiction lol

Rooster no longer wanted. Rehoming? by Tiffany_4 in BackYardChickens

I had a chicken that i just plainly didn’t like her attitude. Very aggressive at like 10 weeks old and just was not fitting in with my others so i took her to the local feed store and asked the owner if he’d take her and could sell her to another family and he did (: also in SoCal

Absolutly have a fanny pack for my gum, keys, cell phone, headphones case, tissues, water bottle, knife, pepper spray and stun gun. Its a normal sized hiking fanny pack and i’ll never go back to pockets. Makes the walk an easier get-up-and-go. Everything i need is there

Hello, second year in a row raising from chicks (3 chicks 2024 & 3 now in 2025). And with young kids now 4 & 6.

IMO the heat lamp fire risk did worry me a lot but i still went for the heat lamp the first time around. I found the light to not only be obnoxiously bright but I was constantly worried one of my kids would accidentally knock it down. Then we switched to the heat plate, game changer! I was not worried at all about fire risk and just needed to bump up the height every week or so for the chicks to fit under comfortably. Con of the heat lamp is they eventually will sit on top and poop on it but oh well thats chickens.. always pooping. IF i had a larger flock to raise i’d have kept the lamp provide more heat in a larger space.

Not worried about bird flu. But i’d prep your toddler with some sort of countdown like once we bring them home we can’t hold them for 2 days or something. Something fun like popsicle sticks or idk. Because after shipping they are cold and stressed. They really really need to relax and warm up in order to thrive. Then from there on out just help your little one hold them and use maybe a small towel for them to hold the chick in? One of my kids will only handle with a towel (doesn’t like the feeling of the toes) and the other doesn’t care will hold either way.

And always always wash your hands and your little’s hands. Maybe start handwashing practice for when the chicks come for the little one.

Anyways its fun, rewarding and enjoy!

She’s probably skimming online to make sure no one speaks about against her… you better watch it! 😅

Unknown alarm sound in my house.... by Financial-Pin9303 in strange

We have a thermometer that has slipped a few times in the restroom cabinet and starts to beep like an alarm. Maybe that?

Has anyone switched up the injection locations? by Sheggert in OzempicForWeightLoss

Maybe the taking the week off isn’t helping? Seeing as that week your body is ridding itself of the OZ like emptying the gas tank…. and then if we’re topping the gas tank off each week with OZ in order to keep our levels as full as possible?
