Assisted living for chickens! Hilarious!

Hi Flashpoint, sorry about your loss. They wrap there little claws into our hearts don't they? You did right by her.
On a different note-
Anyone want any Copper Maran Ameracauna cross chicks that are 3 weeks old? The hens will lay brown or olive eggs.
Okay is anyone going to the Burlington swap August 9th? I have to direct traffic at it. I'll be one of the people in an orange vest. Maybe I will put BYC on my back. Please say Hi to me if you see me.
