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.
I don’t own chickens, nor do I plan to in the future, but I’ll subscribe anyway to see updates on how your chickens are doing and for all the egg photos.
We’re happy to have you chicken and egg interested fediverse citizen.
I have parrots which are the same as chickens but more manipulative. Subscribing.
A band-mate and his wife raise chickens in their back yard. Will lurk with interest.
Someone click on those links and let me know if they work. They don’t look right for me.
The kbin.social links are giving me a 404.
Did any of the links work for you?
What about
I’m still not sure what the best format is for these links so that they work everywhere.
