I’ll buy the ivermectin tomorrow and look...

    Hello!! I went through that about 6 weeks ago! Took me about 2 weeks to get and build it, still doing things to better it day by day. When do you get your chicks? Do you know what breeds yet? Very exciting!

    I believe I have 3 boy GLW (4 weeks) so far they are all doing great together. I honestly don’t know at this point but I’ll just keep researching and loving and caring for them as best I can! Absolutely! As soon as I’m through cooking I will post! Thank you!
