    Hello from Nanaimo, B.C.

    We live in Nanaimo - right now I have 5 chickens. A gold laced cochin, a wyndotte, one unknown and 2 sussex cross. My wyndotte was broody last year so we gave her 3 eggs to sit on (3 different breeds) - sadly all were roosters which we cannot keep in the city, so I gave them all away. Where...

    DIY HUMANE way to Kill Slaughter Chicken (Stun-kill, Gas)
