    Happy to find you all

    Hello everybody. I'm new to chickens, but I'm so glad I found you. My wife got 9 chickens and a coop from a friend who was moving and couldn't take it all with him. I'm not sure what breeds they are or how to find out yet, but I do know that they aren't particularly healthy. It looks like...
