I had a really good experience with it 🥰. Let me know if if you have any questions!

My buff orps are Ginny, Wheezy, Pippy, and Biscuit. I LOOOOVE them. 🥰

TSC in some areas of Michigan use Townline (as Townline is a Michigan Hatchery).

I haven't been able to fully assess the damage yet, because it's just too darn cold and there's too much snow, but I'm hoping we'll be able to fix it up after a good thaw. My girls have no desire to go out of the covered run either. The cold is brutal!

Yeah, it's a real bummer. We planned to remake it in the spring anyway (because we're getting 10 chicks in May), but I didn't plan on it being utterly destroyed by our first major snowfall. 🤬

My whole chicken yard collapsed from the weight of the snow yesterday. 😭 Thankfully, they have a large run that is *somewhat* weather resistant, and they don't want anything to do with the snow, but I really don't like this time of year.

Yeah, that's what I offered - my favorites. Apologies that I put them in "list" form, I wasn't really sure how else to write it.

You could also attempt to "break" her broodiness (unless you want to hatch eggs). I have a buff orp that is a real stinker about broodiness. I have to remove her from the nest several times per day and/or close the coop (preferably when the others have all laid). The last time she went broody I...

Wow! Thank you! I've been gone for a while, but so cool to come back to a badge notification! 🥰🥰 Congrats to you, too, @SpotTheCat !

It was a commercial. 🤣

We don't do a whole lot, but we do like our Xmas tree. Lots of memories in the ornaments. 🤗
