    A friend's dad use to raise Emu's and Ostriches . He would let the kids around town come on the weekends and help feed them or just hang out and watch them with parental supervision of course. We took our kids almost every weekend. They had a blast with the birds , the horses and the hunting dog Grandpa Skip had . It gave him a break too because the kids would help clean the stalls and everything. They learned a lot from the farm too .

    I make sure that one eats by feeding that flock in a few spots so it doesn't have to fight to eat
    I also give it wet food not fermented just soaked grain or chick starter
    I sometimes add something like mashed boiled egg or fruit like banana to the mush
    They love it and i think its easier to eat wet

    I always wish someone would have chicken tractors that were solar powered and four wheel drive. When you wanted to move them you could use an app on your phone, they'd raise up on their wheels a bit and you could just steer them where you wanted. Then they'd settle down again.

    I always enjoy your videos, but I really got into this one. I've never had chickens before this year. However, I have quickly become the crazy chicken lady. Every time I enter a farm store near me or when we go out of town and see a new breed I feel compelled to collect a pair. My son and I really enjoy them. They get carried around like babies. LOL! Interesting fact, since figs and grapes have been in season, I've notice that the chickens don't eat as much feed as in the past. I know this will soon change. We are in South, Western Georgia near the Florida/Alabama line but I'm originally a Tar hill, from Edenton. My dad is still there. I have had a BIG QUESTION. Years ago, I attended a small college that had some REALLY BIG Geese. I've tried looking up the type of goose or maybe it was labeled a swan or other type of waterfowl. To me it just looked like a really TALL Goose. Instead of them running around as most birds do sort of hunched over with their butts out and their chests out these birds walked more erect. They stood at about 4 1/2 feet tall. I'm not kidding! To me they looked like just really big white geese. In short when I visited the college and saw the beautiful pond filled with different types of ducks, swans, and these giant geese it made me fall in love with the place and I enjoyed attending college there. However, these giant geese quickly became a menace. They found ways to break into the cafeteria and stole and ruined a whole mess of food. As a kid/young adult I found this hilarious but soon felt compassion for the poor lunch ladies that were trying to provide us with clean healthy meals. These geese soon became accustomed to students leaving the lunchroom and bringing them food and would attack anyone they could leaving the cafeteria. It was funny but it was also a nuisance since they could draw blood as they most often went for people's fingers. They had sharp ridges inside their mouths that seemed to work like teeth. I've looked and looked trying to find what type of bird this was. If anyone has an idea as to the type of bird this was, I would love to know the name as well as to view any online video clips. The college where this all took place was Brewton Parker in Mount Vernon Georgia way back in 1994-95 school year. I wasn't there long before moving on to the UGA campus and later Tifton's ABAC. Both by the way are great agricultural colleges.
