Nope, he makes the evil eye right before he poops on me...

The chicken is growing WAY faster than I ever thought it would. I've looked for chicken info everywhere I can, but if anyone knows ANYTHING speak up! Help and advice is always welcome.

SuperChuck, for the cat. We've adopted every dog and cat we have and also I found the little chick on the side of road, so I'm a big believer in helping animals.

Should I tell you I'm having KFC for lunch?

my "mother in law" was telling me to go to the local hardware store for chicken feed, and said "You know, near KFC?" and I just looked at her and said you sick basterd, the chicken can hear you! She died laughing.

KB, I don't think regular chicken feed from the hardware store is what you want unless you want to eat your pet later on.
If i remember correctly, the feed they have for chickens, turkeys, etc, is a mix made to primarily to fatten the bird up for eating. If you want to keep the chicken around (and not eat it) I'd look at a pet supply store for a feed similar they have for people who keep pigeons. My dad has racing pigeons and if you want I can get in touch with him and ask him what he feeds them.

lmao!! KB, you're gonna have a Tennessee racin' chicken!!

Seriously - laying hens eat lotsa stuff. For a few summers when I was a kid I watched a neighbor's hen house and garden. That garden, especially the okra, was a pain in the ass to keep up with. I threw all the extra produce in with those chickens and they loved it. Hey I fed 'em their other stuff too - I just supplemented their diet.
