    Beginner breeds?

Some breeds do better in heat and others in cold. Dominiques fair well in both and are dependable winter layers. They do...

    Picture of my starving chickens.

They got a hold of a field mouse the other day. I didn't let them eat it wasn't sure if I should. It was fun to watch them trying to figure...
