Nice!

MA state bird. We used to feed them out of our hand when we were kids . .

Love those birds and tufted titmouses!

Velvet 03-15-2025 08:35 AM

Look like happy, protected little guys.

Tough and stringy. You need a a whole flock to make a half decent meal.

Ducks are better for their eggs. Eggs are a little bigger, ducks don’t use/need individual nesting boxes, eggs are less prone to breaking and last much longer at room temperature due to thicker shells, and lastly will produce more eggs per year.

Congratulations! Made my day.

We have never seen them here in FL. We really like that size bird. Loads of palm warblers in our yard now & have seen huge flocks of robins come through, but not these little friends

I have chickadees in my back yard also…First time in 13 years that I have seen them! One of my favorite birds in TN, I am delighted! 😃

I love them, so cute and probably the least scared of humans. Enjoy!!

Sharktank just backed a business that has a neat feeding system for chickens as well as watering. Makes it look so easy.

Told my wife I will gather the eggs if she will clean up after the chickens.

Did not go over so well so looks like we will continue buying eggs.
