Things People Who Own/Raise Chickens Wish You Knew
If this is part of your life story, please share your insights! What would you like the rest of us to learn? What should we know about people in this community? How would you like people to interact with you? Should people ask questions? What’s the best way for people to learn about this? Do you have any resources (books, movies, YT videos, etc) that will give us greater understanding and empathy and kindness toward people who experience the same things you do?
If you’re not on this journey, we welcome you to listen, learn, and ask respectful, good-faith questions! Open-ended questions are highly encouraged, as they give people the space to share their unique experiences in their own words. While this is a safe space to learn about things you’ve never experienced, please remember to be sensitive, and avoid sharing harmful stereotypes or debating someone's lived reality. If you have a question, ask it with empathy. If someone gently corrects you, please be open to learning. Let's have a gentle, fun, friendly conversation where we support one another, because it takes all sorts to make a world!

They provide great eggs 😁
They are well looked after.

Great fun.

They are incredibly low maintenance! Put a feeder and a gravity-fed water system in their chicken house, and check periodically!
Do they eat kitchen scraps?
Yours, I mean. I know they’ll eat pretty much anything!
Sometimes! We usually forget to give them our scraps. Our chickens will compete aggressively for them. They play keep away with cherry tomatoes and hotdog pieces.
My son loves feeding our chickens grass!
