Chickens saved from HighPark fire!

Thread Starter 

Hi--I'm new.  I live in Provo, Utah, and bought my first chicken about 12 weeks ago.

 

I've been through chicken math, and now have 5, and a new coop, courtesy of my husband. :)

 

I thought you'd like to hear that the Fort Collins, Colorado humane society evacuated my parent's chickens for them--they were evacuated due to the fire.  My Mom was thrilled!

It's so good to know that your parents and their chickens made it safely out of that fire. Hope they are able to go back to their house.welcome-byc.gif
