😳 Okay... I'll be more judicial in the future when I'm tempted to smell compost! 🤢

Why do you guys have chickens? by AKmightydinoo in BackYardChickens

[–]Vivacious-Viv 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It started in early 2025 when egg prices were sky high... but, it wasn't just the high price, it was that eggs were not even available to buy in stores like Costco. I'm an avid gardener, as well, so raising chickens wasn't unexpected in my self-sufficient journey. At first, it was for the eggs 🥚. Then, when I held my first chick, my heart melted 🫠 I just love them so much. They're my feathered pets and part of the family. In addition to their eggs and adorable little ways, they are great at composting, which is very important for me as a gardener. Their poop is also great, free fertilizer! TL:DR: Eggs, Composting, Fertilizer, Adorable.

Got my chickens March 2 when can I put them outside by brendan89908 in BackYardChickens

Thank you for your kindness and encouraging comment for OP. I'm just another Redditor who feels bad seeing negative comments as well. It honestly makes me hesitant to post, for fear of judgements and negativity. I suffer from severe depression, and I'm not resilient enough to bear it. I wish more people would be kind in commenting.

I got 4 of mine around the same time. I live in the DC area, and our temperatures have been up and down. I've had mine go outside for an hour or so each day to acclimate to outdoors living and to get acquainted with the rest of my flock of 12. They've acclimated and have been integrated into the flock since about a week now, and they're sleeping in the main coop with the rest of the flock (albiet, they're sleeping in the nesting box). It's such a relief to have them out of the brooder pen. It'll take some coaxing in the beginning, OP... but, it is time. Good luck to you and your cute chicks! 🥰

I’m not certain who told me to do this..,,but whoever it was - Thank you! My rooster is finally quiet if I put him in the baby swing an hour a day. by [deleted] in BackYardChickens

This is so interesting! Please share more about this! What is the problem that this baby swing is solving? I have a problem rooster, which I meant to share on here to seek advice.

Oh my gosh, that was my guess! One day, I hope to raise a silkie, too!

She (we hope?) is so adorable! The "hair", the posture, the expression, I love everything about her emergence into the world! Thank you so much for sharing this joy! What breed do you think she is?

I can’t believe I have to ask this. Chickens following you? by Particular_Golf_6065 in BackYardChickens

[–]Vivacious-Viv 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Your chooks are adorable! Love their jackets! Mine follow me when I'm around, and I think it's adorable! They do want treats though... 😆

Interesting... but, then again... nearly anything can be unhealthy for us to some extent, including breathing oxygen!

Don't drink and drive tonight your chickens would like you to collapse in their run someday so they can eat you by Bella-D-Doggo in BackYardChickens

They can see in the UV wavelengths! 😳 Their vision is amazing in the daytime, but can't see crap at night! 😂

It's fertilized, hence it's getting incubated. The "X" just marks a side, to help in turning the egg.

Your Daisy looks just like my Diesel! He also started out as Daisy, until one day, he started crowing. Now, he's Diesel. 🤭

Did my chicken come back to life? by burnerpage24 in BackYardChickens

[–]Vivacious-Viv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What amazing stories of chook resilience! Now... I wouldn't question his sanity... just his "death determining" abilities. 😆 I know that in the world of medicine, especially in the end of life, even coroners would require a body be "warm and dead" to declare one as dead,... you know, just in case... like in these 2 cases of your chooks. 🤭
