This bantam hen ditched the nest for a wood shavings bag
Well, this is a first, a bantam hen who decided a wood shavings bag was a better nesting spot than the actual nest. I can't say I blame her, honestly. Those bags look cozy, and sometimes our feathered friends have a flair for the dramatic that rivals any fowl play. It's that kind of quirky, relatable chaos that makes chicken keeping so egg-citing. You plan a perfect coop, and they still find a way to surprise you. If you're into this level of poultry personality, you'll want to check out our 24/7 Livestream Peeps on Peckington Square's Fowl Play. It's a whole community of this delightful madness.
When the Egg-citement Fades: My Feathered Friends Are Now Fowl Play
So, you bought a house and got a dozen chickens with it, sounds like a dream, right? Until the egg-citement fades and you're left with a flock of feathered freeloaders who eat more than they give. I feel this. You went from excited first-time owner to resentful parent of three little humans, and now those older hens are just fowl play. They lay maybe an egg or two in summer, then peck it before you can grab it. You don't want to euthanize them, but who's lining up for egg-eating seniors? It's a clucky conundrum.
