It started last Tuesday (5 days...

    (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? True motivated interest & research hatched a few years ago, but we only recently settled into the right property to make our eggciting dream a reality! (2) How many chickens do you have right now? We currently have our first 4...
