    What do we have here?!

    Hey everyone, Got some chicks in the spring from the place that grinds my laying mash here in Utah. The bin wasn't marked and the woman at the counter couldn't tell me much about them. Anyone have any idea what this pullet could be?

    Dog, Fish, and Mealworms...

    Hey everyone! Dog: My 6 Golden Comets share a run with a large docile golden retriever. They do pretty well together unless the chickens are going after the dog's food.
