    Ministry of funny walks?

    Ministry of funny walks?

    To add. all chickens are still on starter grower feed. They get black soldier fly larvae as treats, along with hard boiled eggs, applesauce, and scratch grains. they are free range and get all the bugs etc. they do have limestone grit available, and lots of fresh water. Its been SUPER HOT...
