    The best I can explain is that it is a mix between tennis and ping pong. Smaller court and shorter net than tennis courts. Played indoor or outdoor, with a paddle and a plastic ball with holes, can be played as doubles or singles. It is really fun. I am new to it, but I really enjoy playing.

    Thank you and good luck! Falling in a muddy chicken run=no fun I am sure! I hope you weren't injured. I spoke with a manager at my local Tractor Supply, I am hoping to not run into an issue. He said they would be getting their next season of chickens then, I don't plan to get them from the...

    (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? I am not totally new to chickens. I actually had some for about 3 years. Unfortunately I started losing them one by one due to coyotes, stray cats, raccoons, and a drunk driving through my coop. I started traveling and havent been...

    Messy feathers

    No, their vents are clean. It’s just right there on their back near their tail feathers. I think they are pecking at their feathers some. They aren’t bleeding or sick acting at all. They seem pretty happy. I was just wanting to make sure there wasn’t anything wrong, and how to fix their feathers.
