Long time reader, first time poster.
Had a small 5 hen flock for 3 years, but they got wiped out by a raccoon a month ago. Very sad, but a friend just gave us 5 new three month olds (4 hens and a roo)---so we're back in business.
I'm going to need help with the new ones though, so that's why I signed up.
Peace.
