Just a short video of my new chickens. They are about three weeks old. I want them to be tamed, so I handle them a lot. They actually love me and chirp happily when I come to their cage. They are currently inside the house in a parrot cage turned on its side. Plenty of room for them for now. I take them outside whenever weather and time permit. But I need to stay near to protect them from predators such as cats, birds, possums, skunks, coyotes and so on.<br /><br />They hang out around my feet outside and stay close. They know I keep them safe. It is cute.<br /><br />They eat a LOT! They eat all day, every waking minute. And they are growing so fast. These birds will provide eggs and eat the ticks on the property around my place. Dual purpose. I will get 6 more soon and record them as well. I will make a video documentary about raising chickens.<br /><br />www.TheDIYWorld.com
