LOL.....I guess she did look funny with her butt sticking out the end of the feeder. I feel bad because they had almost ran completely out of food. That definitely won't happen again.

Hi everyone! I have just loaded all my pics of the chicks and their coop/run. Jessie has become my buddy and will talk to Aimee, our dog, who really just want the chicks to play with her, but they just run away! Aimee has been a great help in "herding" the chicks and has been real gentle with them! My hubby is almost finished with the run part of the coop, but until then, we have been letting them out in the dog pen to run around and play in the grass! (without the dogs!) :)

I think they eat feathers if they are missing a nutrient or bored? I can't remember.... hi, my names bill, i just joined today because i cant figure out some crazy behaviour of my chickens and this group was recommended to me.
How did the eggs taste? :)From: "Bill" <houseofprayertn@Date: Mon, 31 May 2010 17:39:38 -0000To: <CHICKENS-101@Subject: [CHICKENS-101] crazy activity
i have americanas that are 7 months old. they just started laying last week. i have 9 hens and 1 rooster and only 2 of them are laying. i was feeding them a mixed feed from the local feed and seed and no eggs, so i switched to purina laying crumbles 9 days ago and presto had two eggs three days later, but no one else is laying.
well, yesterday, i sat next to the yard and watched for awhile, i saw one go around to several others and pull feathers off their butts and eat the feathers she pulled!!! i have never seen that before. she did this to several before she was run off by one of them.
im just wondering if anyone has any advice for the lack of laying problem and what is going on with that crazy hen.
Hey, if he does start a blog........
