    Hello from New Brunswick, Canada

    Hi there, also from Moncton NB (well, 20 mins north). We just got 4 chickens this spring and I am loving it. My little one (2.2yrs) isn't so sure, but he is slowly coming around

    Keeping your chickens entertained

    Mine will literally take my fingers off for a juicy earthworm. I found a few while planting some vines to give them shade from the summer heat and found a few in the dirt... was rather funny to watch them run over and pinch it out of my finger.

    changing from grower to egg layer feed
