    Hi! My chicken coop is almost finished, and I am about to inherit 7 pullets and 2 roosters from my mother. I'm looking to buy more pullets this winter (10-20) depending on the financial constraints. Where can I buy them from? Is it worth it? Should I buy chicks instead? I am located in Tioga...
