I raised 3 chicks from getting them at about 2-3 days old up until they were laying and it was an awesome experience. Unfortunately I had to move so I ended up giving them away on craigslist last week, though I believe they've got a good home now. It was pretty great; I learned a lot and it was fascinating watching them grow, plus extremely rewarding once I was getting daily eggs and had something to show for all of my work. It's opened my eyes a bit and I know that I'll definitely be getting more chickens in the future once I've got a long-term living arrangement with a place to keep them. Not only that but it motivates me to start a garden and anything else that will give me fresh food from home.

Alterian posted:Our chickens absolutely love to eat snakes, lizards, and human blood. They would probably eat a mouse if they caught one. My feed bag was getting holes chewed through it by a stupid mouse so I kept having to move it around and improvise ways to put it out of reach, up until I went out to feed the birds one day and saw the little bastard in their coop. They didn't eat it, however they did nearly decapitate it in wonderful tiny-dinosaur fashion.

Chido posted:they are peacocks, peafowl I think is the term. My city is next to the city of Arcadia here in California, and there is a big peacock community that roams free in the streets near the Arboretum. Apparently whoever founded the city loved peacocks, and these birds have been free roaming for 80 years or so. I don't know if these peacocks come from that group, but they are protected I think. I never see anybody try to catch them, and they've been roaming free in the streets near home for years. They're protected, as far as I'm aware. I live near the area and have family in Arcadia so I always see the peacocks when I'm visiting for holidays. Peafowl are just a bunch of loudmouth jerks
