She's really good with the chickens, but sometimes she gets too close. My red sexlink pecked her in the ear and drew blood. She's lucky this one just told her off!
I helped a friend out by directing her to the chicken ordinances link, where we discovered that she CAN have chickens where she lives! Yay! But now I am trying to help her find a place to get them. She is in Fremont, CA. Anyone in the area know where she can get some chicks?
