Hi there all you wonderful experienced chicken people. I have a question about when to introduce my younger chicks to our older flock. I have a flock of 7 four month old chickens. Our rooster is a BIG RIR. He watches out for the girls pretty well but he also does his main rooster job quite...
Hello fellow Washingtonians. I, like many of you have been struck with chicken math. Between my daughter's obsession with chicks and Rhonda the wonderful (yet evil) chicken lady at Monroe Farm and Feed, my manageable flock of 7 has ballooned to 15! They are all super sweet and of course...
