Chicken page. What website would be complete without a chicken page?
The Chucks are back to full egg production (fortunately for them).
3 hungry beaks.
You can't beat digging in for a good dust bath. Ask a chicken.
Keeping Chucks.
What you need to keep your own hens. A good sized run, the bigger the better. 6ft high fence, dug in 6 inches. A secure hen house with private nest box and suitable perches. Water and food containers. Feed. I recommend Organic Layers Mash available from farm stores. Corn or wild bird seed for 'scratch food'. Leftovers like pasta, veggies, bread and rice are always welcome. constant supply of fresh water.
Food and water should be available all the time. Hens like to scratch for food as well, so make sure you have some corn to throw down. They are especially fond of worms. Unfortunately for our hens, our worms are sensible enough to stay down out of the their reach so if you have a compost heap, a shovel full of this to scratch through for worms makes a great treat and often results in some entertaining chases.
