List of my Chicken Pages
Cluck! Cluck!
If you've ever wanted to know more about chickens you've come to the right place. This is my chicken article list, where I've linked to all my pages about chickens.
I've had hundreds of chickens, read tons of books, belong to numerous chicken groups, and was even an animal science major, so I know chickens, and want to share them with you. So far I have articles about getting chickens, a headless chicken that lived for 18 months, chicken breeds, plus more, and I'm making more articles all the time.
So sit back, scroll down, and be prepared to meet some fun, feathered fowl.
Chicken Information
Chickens are funny little feathered birds. They produce the eggs we eat every day, but how much do you really know about chickens?
I know quite a bit about chickens because I've had a lot of experience with them. I've had hundreds of chickens as pets. I ran a rooster rescue for quite a while. I've held them, fed, them and raised them. Whether it's incubation or the correct way to get chickens, I've been there and can help you with your experience. I was also an animal science major and so studied chickens regularly and know the ins and outs of them. I've decided to share what I know about chickens with you, the reader by creating fun and interesting articles on chickens, or as they call them in Australia, chooks.
Throughout time I've heard many myths and rumors about chickens. There is so much misinformation out there that I decided to help try to clear some of it up by writing my "Chicken Rumors, Myths, and Facts" page. Check it out and share it with others so we can eliminate the chronic lies that surround chickens.
