    Third time is a charm!!

    We previously had two disastrous experiences with backyard chickens and, after relocating our chicken area, decided to try again! Things are going GREAT! This is Snowball. She is our oldest and a White Plymouth Rock. She had just finished rolling around in the dirt in our garden beds...
