:frow I’m in back brusly! How ironic!

Hello!! I’m a NC native moved to S. LA back in 2015! We are new to chickens too and sounds like your experience is like my family’s intro to chickens...I’ve always wanted and never thought my hubby would give in but he went with it and he says I have a problem hehe. We have a (almost) 4 yo...
