    Help! I've inherited chickens.....

    Hi all, I manage a property & with the job I've been tasked with taking care of the chickens here. I've fallen in love with them over the past year but don't know much about chicken care. I did have a vet come & check them for general wellbeing. She said they were all in good shape with no mites...
