On February 10th, a feral chicken hatched a clutch of chicks right next to our door (I can’t believe we didn’t notice her lol). I started hand feeding them immediately, and they became tame really quickly. Unfortunately, because of the feral cat problem and fowl pox we lost most of the chicks. But three of them stuck around.

Now it’s our tradition everyday for me to sit with them, give them a little food, and for them to fall asleep on me. I named them Cornelia, Ophelia, and Roselia.

We are talking about building a new coop and run for them, since our current coop and run can only accommodate 4 chickens.

Honestly, I never knew I could love chickens so much.

There's some dude (derogatory) on FB who is PISSED people are pricing their farm fresh eggs at $2 and $3 a dozen instead of $4+, saying it's "disrespectful" and "undignified" and "I'm trying to feed my kids" like Sir, you are on a Facebook group page bitching about your neighbors egg prices because your pet chickens aren't earning you a living wage and you think it's your neighbors' fault, you do not have a leg to stand on here wrt dignity.

Also half the answers are like "I give them to friends and family free" or "I donate them to food banks" or "I'm making them affordable to folks who might not otherwise be able to get them now that they're so expensive in the store" and "if you think you're going to turn a profit keeping backyard chickens you have been wildly misled" and so on, and so forth, and I'm so living for it.

and I can tell you right now, he did NOT like my answer of "if you're trying to feed your kids, I hear eggs are edible."

#chickens #like buddy you are never going to actually make a profit #and if by some miracle you do #it's going to be VERY SMALL #Considering the money you put into building or buying a coop #plus feed and bedding and equipment (waterers feeders perches etc) costs #egg cartons and enrichment and gas to go get the feed #the cost you (personally) probably put into building the egg stand you mentioned #a 50lbs bag of feed will feed 12 adult chickens for 8 days #12 chickens generally lay 6-12 eggs per day #usually less in the fall and may even stop in winter #a 50lb bag of feed is usually $12-15 #and you wasted the first 6 months going eggless until they were old enough to lay #and that doesn't factor in oyster shell or anything else you may need to do for them #like worming or treating for coccidia or anything #and doesn't take into account your time #like asjh;dsfkgdh you really thought you were gonna make a buck doing this??? #wank for ts

In a very important home life update: we got a high vis vest for one of our chickens

They apparently have a great unintended use of stopping hens from getting bullied, so we got one to try it out since the above hen gets excessively picked on by the others (we don't really know why).

Shout put to the wonderful @gingervivilou who told me about it!!

#hopefully it helps; poor girl just wants to chill in the garden in peace #before anyone asks she was totally fine; we stayed with her for a couple of minutes to make sure she wasn't stressed out after we put it on #and she's already just strolling round the garden instead of hiding under people's cars! #animals #chickens
