Do you have a back yard? Are there chickens in it? Then this community is for you!

I made the mistake of buying my wife “just four chickens” for mother’s day a few years ago. That became 8. Then 20. Then 300. DON’T DO IT! IT’S A TRAP!

If you’ve already fallen into that trap and have questions, come on over. If you’ve been keeping chickens for years, come on over. If someone else’s chickens are in your back yard and you don’t know what to do, COME ON OVER!

We’ll talk about chickens, we’ll talk about eggs, we won’t talk about which came first, we’ll talk about feed, and care, and everything that goes along with keeping chickens. There will be pictures. There will be recipes. There will be…well…that probably just about covers it.

Anyway…

EDIT

There have been a couple of questions, “What about my ducks?” and “What about my parrots?”

The Fediverse is small. There probably aren’t enough people interested in each type of bird to start their own communities. For now, everyone is welcome. Turkeys, geese, quail, Guineas, fucking Emus. Come on in. Pet birds, too. We’ll take everyone. The community will be focused on chickens but everyone is welcome. As the sub-communities grow they will naturally migrate (heh) to their own communities but we will have given them care and comfort while that happened.
