    Am I doing this right? 10 week old pullets

    I recently acquired two pullets approximately 10 weeks of age. The breeder had them outside, but they were on dirt. I have tractors and no spot is bare in my yard so they have constant access to graze in the grass and have been having a splendid time doing so. They also have constant access...

    My chicken saddle is a fail.... Help?
