Any leftover apples ......

A quick tip to keep boredom at bay!
Throw a few armfuls of leaves in your run, then scatter some scratch in the chicken's leaf pile and watch them go wild! It'll stop feather-picking- for a few hours, anyway:P.Come visit me, Urban Knitting, Urban Sunflowers, Urban Herbs & Urban Chickens.

The Molt- Coming to a Coop Near You!
My poor Polish hen- the mother of our four three-month-old Polish chicks- is officially molting. The poor girl has three tail feathers left, and whenever one pets her or she flaps feathers fly everywhere, like in cartoons. The coop floor is liberally dusted with glossy black feathers, and she is VERY cranky.
Ah well. She'll be OK. In a few months.Come visit me, Urban Knitting, Urban Sunflowers, Urban Herbs & Urban Chickens.

Jersey Chickens
Thanks! There were no restrictions on raising poultry in our town- just that if they bother our neighbors, we need to find them a new home.
We're not exactly 'urban', and not exactly 'suburban'. More like 'municipal', we have a standard 50' x 100' lot. However, 'Municipal Chickens' didn't sound quite as nice!Come visit me, Urban Knitting, Urban Sunflowers, Urban Herbs & Urban Chickens.

Jersey Chickens!
Good for you! Many urban homesteaders find there are local restrictions about raising backyard livestock. Did you have any trouble with town or neighborhood rules against chickens?
But would you consider the Jersey Shore to be "urban"? Here in Northern NJ, we wouldn't!D'Mae, Jersey City, NJ.

I've been saving sunflower seeds year to year just because they're pretty (and the seeds from the mammoth variety are great for us to eat). I'll be planting them near the chicken coop when we get that built next year as well. Come visit me, Little House & Garden.
