Ended 14th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-Along—National Poultry Day
I bought my first 6 chicks just a couple of weeks before the world shut down with the Pandemic. I struggled being home alone all day every day (my plumber husband was an essential worker).

Do you have a way to "call" your flock to you?
A lot of the time they come running when they see me, but in the warmer months (we're in Michigan), they like to hang out under the neighbor's large pine trees...it's prime dust bathing under there.
