I bought 7 chicks from Tractor Supply 8 weeks ago and this one Barred Rock was fine until this morning. When I let the rest of the flock out to free range she didn't come out of the coop, so I went in and picked her up off the roost and carried her out, after a few minutes she wanted to get...

Well, where to start... a little about me.... It has been a long time I've wanted chickens and moved to the country for this. Then, I ended up being a baby sitter for my neighbors chickens, she travels often. Sooooo, seemed silly to buy the cow when I was getting all the milk I needed! Fast...
