We had backyard chickens growing up - our rhode island red was still laying eggs almost daily at 9 years old!
I really wanted to get chickens next year! But sadly we couldn't find a place to live with the yard.
They even sell chicken diapers for them, $8 on ebay! They can be quite respectable layers as well.
No need 2buy miracle grow when u have some being produced in mass quantities.
Also great pest control for my garden, and they free range outside everyday to eat whatever they please. Luckily they leave my plants alone.
What a cute picture! Dez on here has chickens and I've seen a picture of her with one riding around on her shoulder.
How cute!
I have chickens too but no Silkies.
Currently have 2 Buff Orbingtons and an Easter Egger, she lays blue eggs. I love my chickens I let them free range in the yard while I am home.
We have a raccoon problem (even during the day )so I can't let them free range all the time
They come in the house everychance they get to eat the rouge crickets.... I am constantly chasing them out of the house if I forget to close the sliding door all the way
Just got ducks for the first time this year and MAN I thought chicken poop was bad.. DUCK POOP IS THE WORST!
this is my Favorite picture... its SeaSalt the Easter Egger with my dog Abby around Halloween. Abby is wearing her chicken costume and trying to blend in as a chicken
