Have you seen them eating and drinking?

Sharing an updated pic now she’s a little bigger! In love with her colouring!

Thank you so much!

The struggle is real right!!! We had 7 in 10 last year! So this year when we expanded our flock I thought we’ll pop more eggs in and now have ended up with 11 pullets and small number of roo’s… still working on hubby to keep them all of course ;-) good luck with it all!
